China: "called an end to the “Cold War mentality” — it’s standard term for what it regards as U.S. hegemony and interference in other countries."

Also China: "abstained Thursday when the U.N. General Assembly approved a nonbinding resolution that calls for Russia to end hostilities in Ukraine and withdraw its forces.

And then there is the clause about respecting borders and sovereignty... Which is codewords for allowing them to invade Taiwan without interference.

What China's doing to the US is light work compared to the way they treat the rest of Asia. They do shit like force Korean or Japanese celebrities to apologize for saying "Taiwan." They randomly claim Genghis Khan to be Chinese, or various Korean kingdoms to be actually Chinese. They engage in widescale cultural appropriation. They let their factories pollute Korea and Japan, and then claim that there's actually no pollution going on. They breach international waters and fish in Korean and Japanese territory. It's honestly ridiculous.

I honestly wonder whether the world would have been better off today if Macarthur had had the stones to nuke major Chinese cities during the Korean War.

The US bombs the Middle East for 20 years and no one bats an eye. China manufactured goods for the entire world which causes pollution by default and you’re here calling for them to be nuked? Holy shit you couldn’t be anymore of a fucking racist even if you tried. This is actually the most unhinged comment I’ve seen in a while on this site.

Be reasonable. McArthur was a personal pussy who fled from his soldiers. Then wanted to install fascism in the USA, starting with a nuclear war.

Lmao, South Korea's own government did a study that showed most of the pollution in South Korea is from South Korean factories after South Korean companies claimed they weren't polluting and that it was all China.

South Koreans bullied a Chinese Kpop singer for saying " Happy Chinese New Year" and made her do a public apology.

Big difference between random South Korean netizens bullying a Chinese K-Pop singer, and literal establishment CCP outlets and media institutions pushing forth revisionist nonsense, or the CCP government itself threatening to shut down Korean factories in China because some K-Pop star said something about Taiwan.

If you want to point out ridiculous bullshit China has done in the modern day versus what Korea or Japan has done, you're in a losing battle. A state media organization chastised BTS for not thanking China for their role in the Korean War, even though the Chinese are the reason the Koreas are split, and fought on the opposite side of the South Koreans. It's ludicrous. The Chinese government itself believes that it has the power to police what native Koreans or Japanese say on their own soil. They set up secret police stations. It's insane.

China has absolutely no shame. Everything China does is ludicrous and self-serving. There's a reason why any diaspora Chinese you meet, whether in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, or Indonesia, will go to great lengths not to tell you that they're Chinese. Even other ethnic Chinese don't want to be associated with the CCP. There's a reason that the Koreans now hate China even more than they hate Japan (which is truly saying something), and why China is the least-liked country in Japan.

You mean like when South Korean mainstream media outlets mistranslated Chinese press celebrating pickled cabbage from sichuan as "Kimchi" and then started saying China is stealing Kimchi from Korea?

>even though the Chinese are the reason the Koreas are split

You can thank MacArthur for pushing too close to the Chinese border for that.

Also, Korea would have been united under the north if the US didn't get involved.

Again, there's a big difference here, because Chinese media, unlike Korea's, is essentially an arm and institution of the State.

And you and I both know that the Chinese would openly claim and steal kimchi if it weren't enshrined in UNESCO as a cultural heritage of Korea. Just as they steal everything. We're talking about a group of peole who claim Genghis Khan was Chinese, because he conquered China. Or who claim that hanbok is part of Chinese history, because their are Korean ethnic minorities living in China. Who pay exorbitant fees to have Korean directors come to China and teach their idiot leaders how to make movies and pop music. It's a shameful disgrace.

>Also, Korea would have been united under the north if the US didn't get involved.

You have to be top-tier stupid to think that would be a good thing. Just compare the two Koreas today, and you will easily find your answer to which side of the war should have won and unified the peninsula.

Had China not gotten involved, Korea would have been unified under a government that experienced the most ridiculous increase in standards of living and financials of any modern country today. The North would be free, families wouldn't be split, and the millions of people suffering under the Kim dictatorship in the North, spending their lives living in fear, would be free to watch dramas, or go to K-Pop concerts and cheer on their favorite idols. Instead, they're saluting the Kim family and making sure not to get caught watching bootlegged dramas, else they'll be shot dead in a public execution.

I'll never understand you tankies. Is the five cents really worth it that much? Perhaps you can spend it on some bing chilling.

The United Nations government voted to ask the United States to lift sanctions against Cuba.

Nearly 200 countries around the world were in favor, with only the United States government and Israel opposed.

However, the United States government is the good guy.

The West can invite other countries to help them, but they can't and aren't in a position to force other countries to help them (at a cost).

"You must help me (pay the price for me) or you will be sanctioned"

Is this the face of a good man for the US to tell the world?

Without China, the U.S. government would be shitting on the heads of all countries, even on the heads of Americans.
