    Yeah, China are being “generic assholes” right now, but not crossing the lines into “serious villain shit” yet, at least for people who aren’t in China.

    But if they touch Taiwan, oh hell yeah.

      I mean there are chinese spies in europe, which suppress, bully and sometimes even kill chinese journalists who have fleed (?) to europe. And thats not even a conspiracy theory, there were investigative journalists who have uncovered this in several countries. So I’d say that china is reeealy close to that villain line

        Yeah, I think thats still really brushing the line.

        This is a carrot and stick thing, by making Russia an extreme example we can steer them back from the edge.

        But we do need to have other sanctions, they’re just being dickholes.
