people see things from their own perspective. They saw China helping other nations and assumed it must be a trick because the west would never just help without strings attached. The idea of building trust and good relations just doesnt compute to them because what they call good relations with the global south is just domination.

They just dont understand how China operates and its why China continues to run circles around them.

This whole thing is so insidious. These were the people making these claims, and now that others have debunked them, they pretend to have been the ones debunking them themselves. They act like these claims just popped out of the ether, like all claims about the west's enemies when they are proven to be lies. They pretend to act with "integrity" by correcting the record, but they always pretend that they aren't the ones responsible for the lies in the first place and that they just happened. I'm so fucking sick of how the western media operates.

I’m gonna need that link 1,000 times because libs are going to cry debt trap! 1,000 more times.
