    Excuse me?

    The US built its state through genocide and slavery, and split from Britain in order to cement its independent interests in that realm.

    What strange view do you have of China that you think talking about the processes of a socialist state in international politics is remotely the same as talking about the birth of a settler nation (the US) that has been terrorizing and exploiting the world since it became globally powerful? What forum did you think you posted on?

      Just look at the post history, lol. Most of what you said went over their head already.

        Hmm, I looked. Far as I can tell, their thing is that Russia and China are failing a moral test on Palestine and so are traitors as a whole. If so, I can certainly understand their frustration, but the criticism needs to have more depth than “they [allegedly] could be doing x and they aren’t”.

        One of the reasons I try not to say much on China in detail is because I don’t actually know all that much about how it is in the details and so trying to judge properly what it could or couldn’t be doing logistically in this moment would be a wild guess at best. For all I know, there are experienced members of the CPC who think China should be doing more on the Palestine issue and are trying to make it happen. But I don’t know and I never see people citing stuff like that. Instead, people tend to talk about morality in isolation from conditions and it comes across as something like “the foreigner has to be one of perfect victim, perfect savior, or member of the villain squad, there is no inbetween.” I don’t think China is perfect (nor do I think anyone or entity is) and I wish that people who criticized them would go beyond these categories.
