Holy fucking copium. The entire thing is "we're only interested in our national and strategic interests, but that's actually good for both parties".
The year began with the relationship at a historic low point. A year ago this week, a Chinese spy balloon traveled across the United States
Lmao
holy shit why do they bring that up? i thought they decided to memory hole that entire pathetic tantrum...
incredible losers.
Nah, they’re still convinced PRC was trying to spy on the US
nah the PRC is spying on the US, they're right about that much. but they're spying using satellites and real spies, you know, adult stuff :D
Yeah, I’d be shocked if the U.S. wasn’t also trying to spy on the PRC
Biden barely has shit on his resume from the past 4 years and a fuckton of his potential voter base hates him. They're trying everything to increase his chances.
so...
- he was a lifeguard at a pool
- he shot down a very scary balloon
and this man has a good chance of winning the election, as i understand it. well.
This is actually the best version of his resume. The 60 years in between are not pretty at all
It's funny because they legit admitted it wasn't a spy balloon months after they blew it up and then waited a while and went back to it after everyone forgot.
Basically everyone I know wholeheartedly believe that the balloon was for espionage purposes.
historic low point
When your knowledge of China dates back to maybe the Nixon administration
That’s because when Biden brings up the 1940s, everyone collectively says ok boomer and asks why he’s not in a nursing home yet
We also saw something that really stood out, which is that the PRC believed the United States was in terminal decline — that our industrial base had been hollowed out, that our commitment to our allies and partners had been undercut, that the United States was struggling to manage a once-in-a-century pandemic, and that many in Beijing were openly proclaiming that “the East was rising and the West was falling.”
So new strategy now right? Develop positive relations with China and then everyone benefits?
Lmao.
These Dept of State ghouls always parrot the same line that somehow China is cheating and it's unfair. Quote: "all while addressing the PRC’s non-market practices"
It's fucking hilarious they can't seem to grasp that there are no rules here and that somehow China kicking their ass is just so unfair and cheating. Like what you gonna do, take your ball and go home?
It's an intentional effort to create the impression that the rules US wants to impose on the world are some kind of international law.
Marxism-Leninism is a pathway to many abilities some consider to ne unnatural
Depending on how you're counting, China is 10x older than the US. It takes a special kind of naivety to think that the nephew can get one over on the uncle.
I think it's probably better to consider the PRC the younger of the two, but with some elements that are incomparably older.
yes
