America is guilty of everything they accuse China of. It's projection.
Yeah, who doesn't remember the uighur camps in Utah or the Tiananmen massacre in Washington d.c.?
I do remember the Japanese camps, and I also remember the people of color who are imprisoned in slave-like conditions for many years for minor misdemeanors (or, what should be ones).
I also remember the systematic killing of people of color by the police, who are protected by the state via qualified immunity.
Biden is still being critizised for his handling of immigrants on the border. But at least he rolled back some of Trump's policies.
Do victims of American murders in the Middle East not count?
You were talking about projection. I can't remember the US ever accusing China of bombing other countries.
and that makes it better?
It makes your original statement false
Did I say that?
What about the long time race and class setting dominant in all aspects of life in the US, black people are third class citizens and they have little to no right in certain circumstances. Black ghettos are equivalent to human slave camps.
Bullcrap. Either you have no idea what an internment camp is or what a ghetto is.
No, the Uighur camps are the equivalent to slave camps.
America has slavery for prisoners.
I hate america as much as every sensible person does but america has concentration camps, locking people up solely because of their religion, rapes the women, steals their organs, arrests people who report it, brutally beats down protesters and have elected their dictator for life? I mean I al sure america rapes inmates in their torture camps, I doubt they steal their organs and do all the other stuff
How many countries have America invaded? How many have China invaded?
Tibet, Vietnam.....
Lots of other countries are afraid of an invasion in south east Asia, at minimum a seizure of their fishing territories and waters.
Currently we are discussing a possible invasion of Taiwan.
Oh there's also the modern border conflicts with India and the Sino-Indian war in 1962 and flare ups since.
All of which is to say, don't mistake an inability to project power outside of their region with an unwillingness to be an imperialist bully. China was involved in the Mali war with the UN, and were a Chinese company to have it's investments in insert African or Latin American country threatened by a "socialist" government nationalizing it they would be just as likely to pull the same BS as the US did in Latin America in the 20th century if they could actually project power there.
Possible invasions are not as bad a actual invasions where Americans have destroyed entire cities in the middle east and forced millions of people to become refugees.
