China along with Russia have already been labeled "revisionist" powers by current policy makers in the US government. The Chinese might as well double down on their authoritarian worldview and prove them right.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoWhy does the opinion of current policy makers in the US government have anything to do with what Chinese and Russian leaders should do? Is governing just about face?
- namlem 9y agoWhy would they give a shit what we think of them? I doubt this even factored into the decision.
- code_sloth 9y agoI'm pretty sure China and Russia don't "double down" just because US gives them labels they don't like. It's probably not what you meant, but as a non-US citizen, this statement reads like (some) Americans think the entire world revolves around the US.
- craftyguy 9y ago> (some) Americans think the entire world revolves around the US. As an American citizen, you're absolutely right. Generally, we think everyone cares about us, and we only care about our own interests. (The HN US crowd is refreshingly not like this, generally. But that's such a tiny portion of the population)
- tonylinn80 9y agoSure, what do we label Donald Trump?
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoA one term president.
- nasredin 9y agoI hope you are feeling better, because that was one serious burn!
- jadedhacker 9y agoCan you explain the concept of revisionism? I've seen it before, but don't know what it means.
