In case you didn’t know, the US materially supported Ukraine while China provided aid to Russia in more ways than one.

  and in case you didn't know US carpet bombed Vietnam and many other countries. so, what's your point?
  • computerfriend 3y ago
    The point, presumably, is that Germany and the US are politically and militarily aligned and that Russia and China are adversaries.

    Are you seriously trying to argue that the China/Russia is better than US when it comes to...foreign policy?
    • graphe 3y ago
      In regards to Africa, China is indisputably better than the US at foreign policy as a fact. Check out the passport rankings to see who objectivity has the best foreign relations. https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php surprised to see Syria and Pakistan lower than "Palestinian territories".

        China isn't better. They just do colonialism 2.0 with their investments and debt-based diplomacy. The don't care one bit about a single African life.

          I don’t think he meant the Chinese were generous in Africa but just better than the Westerners. I’d take debt and infra over poverty and bombs any time of day.

            It’s weird because the west still invests way more in Africa than China does, but Chinese investments get more attention. Even America is investing around 3X what China is investing, and it isn’t just make work for American companies like Chinese investment is.

Chinese missiles and bombs are also making headway in africa as China keeps growing its military arms exports.

              I am a bit puzzled. The second link you posted shows that China is investing way more than the US (which is actually divesting for the last few years). For arms, it's still a too low of an amount to make a difference.

                It's very weird when people post links which contradict their text. I usually block people that do that, because I find a quick trawl through their comment history often reveals they're deliberately spreading misinformation and/or gaslighting.

  China sells to both Russia and Ukraine. I remember there was a youtube video showing a Russian dude went to a Shenzhen factory to buy drones and discovered some Ukrainian buyers also there.
  • The_Colonel 3y ago
    It's interesting that Ukraine seems to have a better supply of Chinese-built drones than Russia.
    • Goodroo 3y ago
      Because Russia has the internal capacity to build these drones. I have seen hundreds of factories churning out drones like they are candy
      • The_Colonel 3y ago
        Can you show me those hundreds of factories? I've seen calls from Russian soldiers for more and complains of not having enough.
