      There are plenty of rails, they’re just different ones. Like criticizing dear leader or Tiananmen square.

        Blah blah blah blah. China bad. Invading Iran, Venezuela, supporting the genocide in Palestine is all good, getting out of the WHO, removing USAID which had let to thousand of deaths around the world, threathing Greenland and Cuba. Causing global inflation to rise due to oil cost. Tariffs . Destroyed relationships with organizations and countries that took 80 years to build.

        And that is just this year for the US.

        What catastrophic action on this scale has China in let’s say the last decade?

          Two superpowers can be shit at the same time. Three, even. Four is phisically imposible.

          First of all, no one said “The US is good actually.”

          Second of all, aren’t you the same type of person who used to cry about USAID being a front for US imperialism? Now you want to complain that it’s gone, because oh wait they were actually helping to contain infectious diseases, provide clean drinking water, and feed people in food scarce areas…

          That got shut down last year, by the way, not “just this year.”

          As for catastrophic actions China has engaged in, I suppose if you ignore forced assimilations in Tibet and Urumqi, the hostile police takeover of Hong Kong, and the aggressive and environmentally destructive colonization of the South China Sea, then it would start to be somewhat difficult to come up with any examples…

          Its rather revealing that your response to “China has severe restrictions on political speech” is to accuse that person of bootlicking for American empire.

          You claim someone is biased against China, because they said one true thing, then you bring up all kinds of unrelated things to attack another nation, which wasn’t being discussed. I wonder if you might possess the bias your against, But for China and against the US? Both nations do good and bad things. If you’re so angry about bias, maybe you should check your own. Or maybe bias isn’t the issue, and you just support the Chinese leadership?

            “See, China did a bad thing in 1989, while listed here are multiple worse things the US did this year alone. These are equal”
