    Wow, I do have to admit that China is on a roll these days.

    Then again, it ain’t hard acting like a nice guy with trump around.

      They are absolutely going to pull ahead on the world stage, whatever that really means.

      But if you have lived in America all your life and been told how we’re the gleaming city on the mountain, the land of milk-and-honey and all that pabulum we’ve been fed for decades and decades, and then walk around in one of China’s newer cities you will have a radical culture shock. Then have a medical problem and walk into one of their hospitals.

      Fuck, just walk into a public restroom or use their mass transit and you will wonder where the fuck your tax money is going.

      Their space program alone gets zero coverage in the US and has done amazing things that will guarantee them the solar system in just a few decades.

      Not saying they’re some kind of perfect nation, their human rights issues, their abuse of their workers, their racism and xenophobia are still huge and glaring, but it’s going to be a lot worse in the US before long.

      What are you complaining about? At least someone is doing something about genocide. Whenever anyone, including the chinese stand up for a civilized world they should be praised and supported. I welcome their kicking zionist war criminals in the face and hope for much more kicking. Somebody has to lead here and it sure as hell isnt the so called western world order. They are all busy hiding their pedophilia crimes committed in Israeli honeypot operations.

    since the outbreak of the war in Israel, Beijing has classified Israel as a “high-risk area” and imposed a ban on any new Chinese investments in the country,

    This is not a moral standing by China, it’s 100% pragmatic deeming Israel a high risk area.
    There is no reason to call China “based” or any other such crazy comments we see here.

    They’re just reading the room. They’re not doing it because they think israel is bad, they’re doing it because it’s economically disastrous to do so. Within the next few years the US will be in the same position if it keeps going the way it is. We’ll be too “high risk.”
