yes the US has better rule of law and is an actual democracy, for sure. but China does not seem to be so bad by the standards that we hold our own allies to, so to me it is unclear why we have become locked into this neo cold war so quickly. some of our allies make china look like a saint in comparison

- dttze 2y agoIsrael is committing a genocide in Gaza, has terror bombed Lebanon, and is stealing land in Syria for Greater Israel.
- brookst 2y agoI agree. But you think that makes China’s treatment of the Uyghurs look saintly? Really? Saintly?
- anramon 2y agoIsrael, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Thailand, Vietnam. That's not counting those relations that aren't close nor adversarial. The only authoritarian regimes not allied, nor neutral, with the US are Cuba, Iran, NK, Russia and Venezuela. It's not present day but let's not forget the series of military genocidal dictarships supported, founded and allied by the US in south america in the second half of 20th century.
