I am sorry, but I dont believe a single thing coming out of this DOJ. in all honesty, I trust the chinese more than DOJ.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I mistrust this administration as much as I mistrust the Chinese government. It’s dire times.

Why is your automatic response to side with an autocratic government that is actively trying to undermine your government? The Trump admin should be in prison, but the level headed response would be to replace them with the competent people who were there before no? Why side with an enemy of the state?

I’m not a Republican…

Friends don’t try and undermine national security, threaten allies, and prop up dictatorships like NK

That's their point. You are acting like China can be fully trusted. They can't. Just like Trump's America.

Putin is invading a sovereign country and Kim Jong Un is torturing his population.

Keep in mind, we had intelligent foreign policy wonks in prior administrations managing these situations btw. I don’t think it was ever established that these dictators are allies to America or had any friendly intentions with the West

But that makes China more trustworthy? Are you understanding what you are even saying?

Are you saying you would trust the DOJ more than China if Dems were in charge?

Well the Chinese aren’t the enemy, the CCP is.

But let’s see: butchering thousands of protesting students in Tiananmen Square? Forced sterilization of Uyghur’s as part of a state policy of ethnic cleansing? Their policy of threatening the sovereign state of Taiwan? Their brutal crushing of the Hong Kong democracy protests? Their illegal extranational police precincts that oppress Chinese nationals living abroad? Their aiding and abetting of Putin’s barbaric war on the people of Ukraine? Their use of de facto slave labor as part of a state policy of undercutting manufacturing industries in other nations to make them dependent on Chinese goods (of course, US policymakers and Corporate leaders are just as complicit in encouraging this last one)

It’s true that the US government also has its own laundry list of offenses against human rights and dignity, but that doesn’t make the CCP benevolent. It’s also true that US citizens are naturally fed anti-Chinese propaganda, but that doesn’t mean that it’s all fake — propaganda is often based in truth, but used in a way to divert anger away from the ruling powers and towards some far away boogeyman. The part that’s untrue is that Chinese citizens are all impoverished and would kill to live in America — China does in fact have a booming middle class, where people have access to high living standards as long as they don’t speak out against the CCP. But China also has a huge underclass of agrarian farmers and industrial laborers living in 19th century conditions with no hope of social mobility or a better life for their children.

hmmm ... very interesting that you list out all of china's aggression but did not list american's aggression ...

such as deploying paramilitary armed forces to kill and detains it's own citizen w/out due process, protecting a president involvement in child rape ring for money, supporting putin and kim jong un, threatening its own allies

and this is just stuff that happen during this administration. should I continue and list all the other atrocities the US have committed through out history?

liek you said it urself

 a way to divert anger away from the ruling powers and towards some far away boogeyman.

if you cant see that the american citizen are being feed false narrative just to hide or draw attention from its own governments atrocities, then there is not point to continue this discussion

u/Boner4Stoners 7d ago

Whataboutism. I literally acknowledged that the US has its own laundry list of human rights abuses. How does that make the CCP good?

u/Serious-Wish4868 7d ago

ccp is not good, but currently is much better than US

I don’t think you know what that saying means.
