I don't think China is some perfect country, but I dislike the deliberate misinformation about it.

[โ€“] bloubz@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 days ago

oh no, China is crushing us the west by switching from oppressed poorest country in the world to leading economy and ecological/educational/technology model in a few decades. What are our choices? Do better as a society and economy, or continue as usual and spread maximum of racism fueled propaganda?

Yea, the US is a pretty sad place, hopefully the US Empire crumbles.

never said anything about the US, but fuck that too

[โ€“] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But you described it perfectly.

[โ€“] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

well that I can agree on. still, personally I would choose neither, and I hope the EU won't take them as examples

[โ€“] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

There is no neither, really. The EU has neither the financial Capital of the US, or the industrial Capital of the PRC. The EU walks a balancing act and ultimately needs to lean on the others. The only way out would be to re-industrialize, which would have the same pain the US is going through in trying to start that back up.
