- grecy 7y agoI'm not American or Chinese, so I read your statement as: The American are people like you and me. Yes their government needs a lot of work, but people are people and we need to remember that more
- bamboozled 7y agoIncredibly well said
- celticninja 7y agoI am neither American or Chinese either, I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

- _bxg1 7y agoSure, but there's no way one of their billionaires would be allowed to take an action like this without discussing it with the CCP first. For all we know it was their idea. I'm not saying it's evil or that we shouldn't accept it, I'm just observing the optics and the fact that there's no way the CCP didn't consider it from this perspective beforehand, regardless of any other motives.

- scarejunba 7y agoNorway's runs pretty well, powered by excellent stewardship of their sovereign wealth fund. Everyone needs work yeah, but a lot of work, I don't know.
- ackbar03 7y agohear hear
- grecy 7y agoNew Zealand is doing great right now, Jacinda is easily one of the best leaders on the planet today. Denmark is of course doing well, as are Sweden and Norway.
- FpUser 7y agoVery nicely put. Kudos.
