The US has a long history of hypocrisy and has its share of shameful actions, but equating it to China is just ludicrous.
That said, there a lot of countries that have their own issues with authoritarianism, persecution of minorities, privacy violations, etc and they have a partner in China that is willing to look the other way for profit. It's going to be difficult for an increasingly weak US to force those countries to isolate a cheap source of goods to placate their masses.
- legulere 6y agoIt was not my goal to equate the two - I’m not a native speaker so maybe I expressed myself imprecise. America being the good and leading the fight against evil was always just a story told to the masses. In reality you were gaining a lot from aligning to one of the blocs in the Cold War and a lot of countries had common enemies with the US. All this is missing now. Already with the Iraq war unanimous support by allied countries was not there anymore and with the Trump administration the US stopped to be a reliable partner. I don’t think you can easily say that other countries abandon their willing to try to change China. They just keep on the diplomatic way.
