Probably that’s because that’s exactly what this is? They’re watching a parade having a beer. What did we expect?

Of course not? If they gave you that impression then you would pry. As I said, it’s pretty universal at this point. No mind reading needed. The fact that you were trying to do exactly what they’re trying to avoid is hilarious to me.

This is a tier 4 city in China. Which is far down the development ladder and considered poor.

The vast majority of Chinese live in cities like this or better. Saying that there are still poor villages, well I give you this

Kensington Philadelphia is so drug infested people walk around like zombies. Does China have poor areas like that? Actually no, even the poorest villages aren’t that bad.

They refuse to offer criticism to you, they will criticize the CCP constantly amongst themselves. They’ve sadly learned right or wrong that westerners are always trying to make China look bad. It’s largely from western news like BBC. Just look up the phrase China, but at what cost. The most hilarious one I read was China is curing cancer fast, but at what cost.

It’s more insane than that. 55% is only on certain items from China. Most are at 35%. So effectively Brazil would be higher. The craziest is they’re higher for purposes of political interference from USA…

I see USA solving it’s problems with their ancient traditions and sensibilities. Slavery. I’d say I’m surprised, but uh…

Oh jeez my bad. Anyway I actually hope William lai negotiates with China. China is clearly trying to buy time now and drag out negotiations to let the KMT get more power. I’d rather William negotiate as I think he’ll get a better deal.

You brought up the second paragraph. You brought up Taiwan. I’m just calling KMT pro-China to be aggressive with you. But your actually right, I am surprised you knew even that much.

Edit I accidentally hit send. Here’s the merger talk

I mean to say knew that much about the kmt

Lol let me guess instead of fact checking me you’ll tell me I can’t speak English and hang up

Except even the president of Taiwan has already said he is willing to negotiate a merger. And the KMT is gaining in popularity, the pro-China party. Why would an invasion even be in the cards? Oh wait, you think that because you don’t actually know what’s going on in Taiwan at all but keep speaking for us.

Kallas, the person sitting across the table literally said a few months ago that the EU will turn on China after taking care of Russia. Wang Yi is just saying USA because the US is even more blatant. Why, if you were China would you let Russia lose if everyone on the other side of that table keeps saying they’re going after you once Russia is done?

Not maybe, Wang Yi literally said we cannot let Russia lose because the US will pivot to China. It’s a not subtle way of saying if you guys keep talking about taking out China, we obviously won’t help you.

As I said EU leaders, it’s obviously not just Kallas. But really China’s simply trying to create a rift with the US and EU. With Trump, they’re hoping there’s an opening. They don’t really care if the EU supports China, they just hope they see the US as toxic. Which is why Wang Yi said China can’t let Russia lose because USA will pivot to Asia, they want to make clear that is toxic thinking.

Well, this puts us well out of the realm of is what China saying evil, it’s not it’s just telling the EU to choose. And instead into the realm of grand strategy of nations. I would love to continue the conversation, but this will be rife with opinions and wild inaccuracies. I don’t agree with what your saying but for me to explain would be long, as well as I can’t be sure I am right.

Ok well we are talking in the context of if true then EU should x. Well it’s only true if the EU continues to want to confront China. China is simply saying that’s up to you

Again, this is in the context of Obama’s pivot to Asia. China sees what your saying as excuses and wants the EU to prove their not just following US orders. Which you’ve said over and over again they won’t decouple so China doesn’t believe them.

Ok, we were talking about why China said what they said. It’s not some evil reason or an excuse to invade Taiwan. It’s simply if your going to threaten us as next, then we will support Russia. Whatever reason the EU has to not abandon the raving lunatic in USA is not China’s problem.

Using aid as a honey pot to shoot civilians doesn’t count

Did you not understand, that’s exactly the offer China is giving the EU in this statement. Abandon the US and we can talk about abandoning Russia.

China literally sent aid to Gaza, so I guess it’s just you guys and your buddies in Russia.
