Thoughts?
Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?
When you have to go back 132 years (Hawaii) and 128 years (Puerto Rico) to find a whataboutism you can throw back in a commenter’s face - it’s probably not very contributory to the conversation.
“Don’t talk about our crimes, let’s focus on your crimes”
Why bring up a failing empire like the states at all for a topic on China? Why do you think american exceptionalism needs to be a thing in any and all discussions? No one likes america when it americans all over the place, and the same goes for having to have the same whataboutisum conversation all the time.
China being an asshat on the world stage is not diminished by pointing at the united chuckle nuts of america and saying “but what about what theeeeey did”.
