China didn't attack Iran and send global oil prices sky high. China doesn't bully my government into bad defence contracts.

I'm so tired of racist fear mongering about China. They aren't a perfect country, but the suggestion of the United States judging any other nation right now is mind boggling.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 36 points 3 months ago

China didn't continually insist Iran was two weeks away from a nuclear weapon for five decades, nor did they bomb and kill the religious leader that expressly declared nuclear and chemical weapons are against God and Islam.

Believing American narratives at face value is an unhinged reality to live in.

Don't forget 150 little girls on the first day of the "war"

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

America is the most propagandized place on Earth, after all.

They in fact made a law that makes it illegal to layoff workers specifically to replace them with ai

(China deff has done that second thing btw.)

Didn't bomb Iran tho

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

China hasn't dropped a bomb in 50 years. How many countries has the US bombed in the last 10?

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

You don't need to drop bombs to bully countries around you

[-] kablez@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

What's the bullying by China? Financial manipulation via the great belt?

I do acknowledge some of their neighbours have legitimate reasons to complain. e.g. Tibet. The Philippines.

That may all be bad but it's not on the same scale as starting a war that affects the world.

Especially a war that's so goddamn stupid, wasn't necessary and is about to end in a embarassing loss.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

My thoughts were mostly of Tibet and the other constant border disputes, but yes I can't disagree with the assessment of the war in Iran.

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca -5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Your also forgetting about some middle eastern country's and a lot of African countrys, a few of them lost harbers and other inferstructure hubs and now act as there own when debts collapse and they repoed those places. Chinas not bombing people but they are definitely acting colonial, just they're own version.

Lmfao, The Africa Center. Which is based in Washington, DC. Nice source, bud.

Is it wrong tho. See your one of those people that defaults to 'US bad=China good' I'm not wasting any more time on someone who's so confident in something they know nothing about or actually care about.

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

No, moron, America has every reason to lie about China. Find a source from an actual African country, and not American propaganda designed to make mouth-breathers like you foam at the mouth about a country you know nothing about.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

That link doesn't even support your claims, so either you're knowingly lying, or you're just posting links without reading, which is just as dishonest. This is how strong xenophobia is embedded in the West: they take it as given that knowingly lying is justified for attacking the foreign enemy.

Take a look at where the user's source is based, lol

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca -2 points 3 months ago

You think this is some sort of gatcha? Just because I'm not mindlessly attacking the US and supporting a equally as bad state, and you wonder why I think your reasoning is defective. Later never hopefully.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

When you have no counterargument so you just descend into meaningless reddit smugness

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

You're literally mindlessly attacking China and using sources from American propaganda networks, lol.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

"you people are brainwashed" they say, as they post a link they didn't bother to read from a US propaganda outlet

I never contested that america was bombing people you arragent dolt. They courced plenty of African and some middle East nations into bed defencive contract through rigged construction project that were purposly hard to pay off so China could repo the ports and building into military inferstructure.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

This never happened, and we can tell you're bullshiting by the fact you can't actually name a specific country, just a deliberately vague "African and middle eastern nations".

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

What countries? Also you spell like a chud. I've never been called arrogant by someone who couldn't even spell it. Maybe try turning on spellcheck if you want people to take you seriously.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago

(China deff has done that second thing btw.)

This a great example of how deeply ingrained racist anti-China fear mongering is in westerners: this person has zero evidence or idea if it's true, but they're just going to assert that it "definitely" is, based on nothing but their deep hatred of China.

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Judging by their spelling, they're not the sharpest spoon in the drawer.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

True, but plenty of examples of people with perfectly fine stirring spelling and the same absurd beliefs in this thread

[-] kablez@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Australia has no defence contracts with China. Partly because of the "alliance" with the United States.

[-] silentaba@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

When he says alliance, what he means is how Australia is paying the US to cuckold it about 2nd hand submarines it will never get, while also paying the US to gaslight Australia that they will get them as long as they continue letting the US cuckold Australia until that makes them respect them enough to then sell the 2nd hand submarines.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 3 months ago

Although, technically, China did help elect the US Admin which did bomb Iran.
