World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Seems to me EU is more aligned with China than USA in this.
USA is a quickly failing world power, and the Iran war has just made it worse. After it was already bad from Trump undermining US economy, NATO, and relations with ALL their allies, except the fascist war criminals in Israel.
Do you take China's word at face value? What part of China's past behaviour supports their "equal and orderly, multipolar world?"
“Damn you imperialists! All unequal treaties are null and void!”
“Including Tibet?”
“Stay out of Chinese internal affairs!”
I am absolutely against how China behaves towards Taiwan, but China does not see Taiwan as an independent country, but an occupied part of China.
The activities in the China sea may be questionable, but they are locked in by USA supported countries, and they are trying to secure sea routes, not much different from the Belt and Road Initiative a multi trillion dollar investment.
So apart from that which is perfectly understandable from a Chinese perspective, I'm not sure what your point is?
Then compare that to American activities, with wars against multiple countries at a time across the Atlantic ocean! Kidnapping and assassinations of key people in countries they want to control. And threats and bullying even of their allies.
By comparison China is way way more sensible than USA, including on issues I disagree with them on.
The US position has always been indefensible. No arguments there, but the China's treatment of Taiwan, Tibet or international law like the ICC, South China sea vs. International law of the sea etc... The US and China's abuse of power are near mirror images. China only has a little catching up to do.
I'm sorry, you have exceeded your daily allotment of hypocrisy. Please wait 24 hours for renewal.
I absolutely acknowledge that China is far from perfect. But the China involvement in Tibet was originally by request! And China never claimed to support ICC, while USA has always claimed to support international law, but is now actively sabotaging ICC. Yet another example where USA is way worse than China.
The hypocracy is to claim USA is better than China, while USA is committing war crimes and sabotaging countries that were supposed to be allies.
Who is saying this?
Edit: Also China's imperial and colonial conquest of Tibet was by request? I need harder drugs. Can you spare some of what you are on?
It was the whole point of my post you responded to, and argued against.
You didn't understand what I wrote.
I mean Europe started what 2 world wars? Wouldn't be surprised they'll support China who's working on a 3rd. Iran and Venezuela were ways to postpone China's invasion of the Pacific.
China's just as bad as the US - they just didn't have the military to show it and now they do.
