Look I'm no tankie, I'm not really here to defend China, the state deserves to be called out.

...but the topic here is comparing them with the us. Picking a new middle-eastern country to bomb every decade or so, meddling in South and Central America, paying for the genocide of Palestine, and (economically the most important, unfortunately) increasingly erratic trade policy makes dealing with the us a pain in the ass.

Edit: how could I forget the fact that the prez and his government are nakedly child predators? That ought to ding their reputation on the world stage a bit more than obesity and gun violence
