And is thus preventing China from becoming an epic Liberal Democracy, sparing the West from China’s rise.

I hate how these people treat countries like football teams. It’s all about who wins and loses the game of domination to them, rather than something with real material consequences with real human suffering involved.

“Sure, our country’s insane capitalist imperialism was filled with slavery, the great depression, insane forever wars and corporate corruption and greed so bad that I’m pretty sure Exxon’s pro-oil propaganda has doomed the human race and all life on this planet to global warming… But at least we won the global dick-waving contest! Wooo, 'murica!”

Similarly, I see lots of headlines like ‘China calls for peaceful reunification with Taiwan’ that has Americans commenting ‘Can we trust them? They’re so warlike’ with no goddamn irony

I think they’re saying that since gommunism bad and has never worked anywhere ever Xi being a Marxist means China is doomed to failure and America will continue to be dominant. So they’re pro-Xi because they think he’s bad for China, and bad for China is good for Naziland.

they’re probably huffing the China gonna collapse shit so Xi was the one blundering China into the collapse thru marxism, his coup’ing would arrest that collapse when a Lib takes over, is my approximation of the logic

Pretty sure he’s saying this tongue-in-cheek as a way to denigrate Xi and Marxism

If China became a liberal democracy, why would a liberal fear the rise of China?
