It’s not like the us even needs the help, they could do all kinds of shit if this wasn’t a giant grift masquerading as a country but it’s still fucked up that China could never do anything to help us citizens even if they really wanted or had to bc of how petty and fucked up the us is.

If China sent aid, and US workers reieved it, all propaganda against China would forever fall flat. It’s kinda like how an abusive spouse needs to control who you speak to in case someone manages to help you see and respond to the abuse in a healthy manner.

That’s not very materialist of you. If Chinese money helped rebuild an entire town and got people back in homes, those people would absolutely love the Chinese government forever.

The narrative might be that the shady yellow man is manipulating the masses, but it would fall flat against the material power of actually helping the masses.

Which is why they’ll never allow this to happen. The propaganda only works of you deny the aid.

Yeah, if someone only has a home because China helped them rebuild after a tornado it’s gonna be hard to convince them that China is literally Nazi Germany.

This happened in Greece. I don’t remember the specifics, I think China bailed out their debts or something and Greece vetoed an EU act against China after the fact
