      This was in 2018 and also seems like Kissinger was a guest.

      Twitter is twitter, and also I should specify that most of the dunks are from the perspective of China as an intra-system rival to the west where China is beating the west at its own game, rather than China as the outside communist threat trying to fuck with the whole system.

      Its a pretty important nuance and until circumstances actually force china into an outside position its smartest to stay in this gray zone of not being simply another capitalist rival but also not being a threat dividing the world like the USSR.
