All this shows is that these two countries disagree fundamentally on how to conduct diplomacy.
And the respective political systems of these two countries obviously play no role in this.
Do you think this is because the leadership is magically nicer for some reason, or because their political/economic system is better able to stay out of conflict?
China is state run capitalism. So a tale of two flavors of one system?
Neither country is state-run capitalism. And anyway, state capitalism is an oxymoron when a state has fiat monetary sovereignty—which the US and China do. Such a state has no need to make a profit, which is foundational to capitalism, because it can and does create as much money as it pleases. You don’t have to take my word for it, you can take Alan Greenspan’s.
China is not state run capitalism, but I guess western libs will never stop repeating it in face of all evidence to the contrary.
