Bill Gates needs someone following him around yelling about how he personally prevented the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine formula from being made freely available. 24/7, every day of the rest of his life.
Diplomacy is bad. If you want to exert foreign influence, you're supposed to bomb people, not give them health care. Has two centuries of Monroe Doctrine taught Beijing nothing?!
You have to understand how confusing it is. American diplomacy is typically done with the tip of a missile, so altruism is a wholly foreign concept vis a vis diplomacy.
i love that the title is basically "china does aid as a way to get diplomatic influence" as this is not the most normal thing in diplomacy

That actually makes a lot of sense, if china was drone striking iran or similar with vaccines american support would rise
