(Dumbass) redditors idiotically hating on china… again.

Then just don’t attack. Easy as that.

How about telling the U.S to not attack… did the U.S stop their imperialism yet? /j

(The comment got 2 awards. LMAO!)

Fuck Xi Jing Ping.</blockquote></a>

Racism at it’s finest!

How is a Chinese investor owning a share of Reddit any different from ‘American’ investors owning Reddit?

Not sure what you mean? Russia not communist, more nazi. China communist.

Ah, yes. Russia is (indeed) not communist. <sarcasm> They are totally nazis though; they invaded wholesome (100) Ukraine! </sarcasm>

(Someone tell them about the Azov and Aidar Battalions.)

The west needs to stop providing authoritarian regimes with trade related [wealth]. It makes no sense to strengthen your enemies.

Yes! You can’t let your enemy get more power! Especially when your empire is getting back-watered and struggling to beat China on it’s own. /s

Yes. American politicians constantly bash Europe for buying Russian oil and gas, while they created this communist cancer and allowed it to grow and metastasize.

I’m pretty sure the U.S did their best to disallow China from becoming socialist. (Too bad their ‘best’ isn’t working!)

✔️Standing up to Putin

✔️Strengthening our bonds to NATO

✔️First black woman SCOTUS (Somehow the media called him racist for it)

✔️Brought back the EPA

✔️Rejoined Paris Climate Accord

✔️Increased Union growth due to his executive order, task force and unprecedented support for unions

Maybe we should start supporting him so that progressives have a shot during the mid term election? Food for thought.</blockquote></a>

“✔️Left Afghanistan (despite taking infinite criticism from the pro-war media for it)”

Now can Biden make the U.S leave Iraq, Iran, Israel, Syria, Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique, Nigeria, the Sudan, Mali, Ethiopia, Tajikistan, and Djibouti (alone)? They don’t seem keen on doing that.

“✔️Strengthening our bonds to NATO”

Like as if NATO wasn’t already bonded to the U.S empire.

“✔️First black woman SCOTUS (Somehow the media called him racist for it)”

Apparently, getting a black woman on the supreme court is ‘progressive’. (Imagine the surprise when the [dark-skinned] woman inevitably becomes corrupt.)

“Increased Union growth due to his executive order, task force and unprecedented support for unions”

Pretty sure that’s because U.S unions have been recuperated into another variant of a capitalist corporation. Also I don’t think Biden specifically increased Union growth… (Psst. It’s the workers!)

“Maybe we should start supporting him so that progressives have a shot during the mid term election? Food for thought.”

Maybe the workers should overthrow the U.S empire and form a socialist country. Food for thought.

Fucking ridiculous comments…

    I wasn’t worried about China invading Taiwan ten years ago, because I honestly believed China was heading towards a better path of liberalization, and I believed if China could go through another major reform politically and socially to follow its economic progress, then the Taiwan issue would perhaps be resolved naturally in a benign manner. Xi Jinping has completely shattered that wishful thinking of mine, and I’m seriously concerned about the direction China would go and its effects on the world. What truely worries me regarding Xi Jinping’s leadership is not just his authoritarian tendencies, but he is showing signs of being an ideologue that mirrors Mao Zedong, which means unlike previous leaders such as Hu and Jiang, he is more likely to act irrationally and willing to sacrifice the economy and stability just to satisfy his ambition, and to amplify the issue, he is also surrounded by yes men who would validate his delusions. Another possibility is that in order to hold on to his grip on power, he might be prompted to start a war as a distraction, and to ramp up propaganda against his perceived threats.

      I don’t know your background, but I am a Chinese American and a naturalized citizen of the USA, you have no idea how much China has changed. I lived in China throughout the 90s and mid/late 2000s, and to me, those were the golden years of Chinese development. From personal experience, back when I still lived in China, the civil society there was in a much better condition, people could actually criticize the government and leaders on the internet with much less risks and care, and in general, the people were much more humble, open minded, and way less jingoistic and myopic.
      When I left China around 2007 or 2008, I honestly thought it was going to become a more desirable country. It isn’t just me, many “China watchers” believed China going through further reform is inevitable, and the possibility of it overtaking the United States as the new superpower is not only possible, but also acceptable. But I was wrong, we were all wrong. Xi Jinping crushed the already fragile civil society and dissent circle within China, and is being aggressive towards its neighbors. Domestically, China is facing regression in terms of liberty and social development; internationally, it is exhausting all the good will it gathered since its reform under Deng Xiaoping.
      Looking back, I think the emergence of Xi Jinping or someone like him has always been rather inevitable. The Chinese system is broken to the core; the “golden years” were the aberration, not the norm. A political system without proper check and balances or oversight leads to dictators and irrational leaders. Right now, I say I’m glad to have left China, and I appreciate the United States. Yes, the USA js flawed in many fronts, but the system and concepts we have are still much more preferable than any alternatives.
