Well sorry, but I am from Eastern Europe, I am regularly fucked by US and Russian political interests, while the only local things connected to China are how many factories are built… So yeah fuck the US.
I’m tired of “but when america does it it’s ok???”-"arguments. No, it’s not. It never was. But that’s not the fucking argument when we’re talking about China or Russia. And the same is true vice versa. Leave it, ffs!
Every other country by being the fastest arming country in the world? And also being a dictatorship.
So the US also threatens the whole of the the world by being the most heavily armed county in the world and also slipping into a dictatorship right?
…yes? Was that in question?
Not a question exactly, more of questioning the implicit bias towards US hegemony.
“Whatabout the USA”
It’s so tiring everything critical of russia or china being immediately met with that fallacy “argument”.

and also buying other countries infrastructure (ports, sewers, etc) and supplying backdoored communication infrastructure
developing the global south is a win in my book, but backdoors are obviously bad, though it seems less of a downside than what the west provides
they aren’t just doing that in the global south tho. they do it in EU too, for example
What am I meant to say? They shouldn’t have bought Chinese or privatised their infrastructure if it was that big of a deal
Besides, the only solution is local alternatives, USA does the same as China
you’re not meant to say anything specific. this is how freedom works.
you’re right, they shouldn’t have, but corruption is unfortunately a thing and now what you wrote feels a bit like victim blaming 😄
The victim is the government and they usually have a board to talk things through, it would be different if it was an individual decision
