    China is off doing naval drills with Russia in South Africa right now. They’re actively working against Europe in Ukraine. Not really a trustworthy partner for anything.

        In yester-year China invaded their friends and allies India & Vietnam. Not long Before that Europe was inventing entirely new ways to shaft over the rest of the world. There’s really no such thing as a “trustworthy” partner in geopolitics, just Alligned incentives&ideologies

          china hasn’t invaded anyone or been at war for decades.

          compare that to the us…

              of course you didn’t mention the biggest empire in history shelling out the most suffering to the world.

              it’s the only way you can make china look so bad.

                I’m not making china look bad, I’m making all states look bad by citing the tendancy of them to become imperialist when there exists a sufficient power differential, hence why I cited Europe more critically than china.

      So are western countries as well and don’t see you crying about it?

      They’re actively working against Europe in Ukraine.

      Insisting sanctions to be decided in the UN and not unilaterally by the west when it’s NATO expansion that triggered the war is not working against Europe. Providing a framework for peace and trying to facilitate peace talks is not working against Europe. Being the largest trading partner of Ukraine is not working against Europe.

      Not really a trustworthy partner for anything.

      Europe and the US are right?

        I’m just stating facts. China is a geopolitical rival that cannot be trusted by the EU. Less militarily dangerous than Russia, but economically dangerous in every way.

        You seem very emotional about it though.
