      You’re completely missing my point. China is talking out both sides of its mouth. When it does press releases for an international audience, it presents itself as this holier-than-the-West neutral party that respects territorial integrity of all countries. When it comes to its own citizens, they make it clear that China has sided with Russia and doesn’t give a hen’s tooth about Ukraine.

      • Yeah but that’s not unique, America talks a lot about the Uighur population in China but then goes right ahead and actually kills millions of muslims. I think a country talking out of both sides of their mouth to avoid war and difficulty is much more worthy than a country talking out of both sides of their mouth to create a dominion over the world.

          Regardless, the claim is still true. Also, the US media has been plenty critical of the US government for civilian casualties in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

            If you were alive at the time I’m sure you remember how against the war the news was. CNN, famously against the war. MSNBC, famously against the war. Fox News, famously against the war. Sure, now they admit it was a mistake to kill millions for checks notes “democracy” after mothers are already left without their sons. No thanks, I’d rather the approach of China. Can you remind me again how many countries China has invaded since, oh let’s say 1960.
