China has responded to reports that Washington is planning to impose “broad” sanctions on the country

”China has the right to conduct normal cooperation with countries around the world. We have always opposed unilateral sanctions and ‘long-arm jurisdiction’ that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council,” Chinese FM spokeswoman Mao Ning said in response to Washington’s allegations that Chinese businesses were helping Russia.

      No, literally no. They went from empires to warlords to the CCP.

      This is why they think it’s the only way. The CCP is really afraid of the people organising themselves (which makes some sense because it’s also how they themselves came to power)

      But the CCP truly believes that they are doing it for the best.

          I know but that doesn’t have much to do with suppressing their own people, IMO.

          What they do with dissidents and Uyghurs is pretty bad.

            @Zworf yikes I’m not trying to defend it.

            But I think the attempted colonization and war crimes did not really endear people to the idea of adopting a Western political system.
