Here's ya proof I'm not. They used 9/11 to justify the patriot act that they used to kill privacy. Fuck em. And the probably also killed JFK. I hate em just that I hate em less than the CCP.
And they committed dozens of genocides, whereas China committed none. And they rape children in ICE camps. And they have done foreign interventions in 100+ countries. And they banned abortion countrywide. And they have the world's largest prisoner count.
And yet you hate China more. That looks like CIA bot behaviour.
Oh and I almost forgot, USA wants to fight till the last Ukrainian is dead, and they are funding and cheering Palestinian genocide right now. Last year they committed a genocide in Somalia. Before that, Yemen carpet bombing. That list is too long.
Yeah, you are a CIA bot.
That is... a very bold statement there.
China doesn't plunder, invade, or bomb like America does. China prefers to build and cooperate with other countries. Win-Win relationships are China's thing instead of zero-sum games like America.
The relationship they had with the country I grew up in was not like that, it was more like pay off corrupt politicians, so China can economically exploit it. Same with Russia. What you're saying is just the Chinese party line, the equivalent of the "US only ever brings democracy" BS. They are both BS, of course, they both serve their own interests.

There is a difference between an imperialist state like the US and an anti-imperialist โ and until recently imperialized โ state like China.
The US has over 750 overseas military bases around the world, and is building more to further encircle China. Meanwhile China has one anti-piracy base in Djibouti.
I'm not talking about philosophically, I'm talking about China paying off my country's politicians to build massive infrastructure projects benefiting only China, from money lent from China, by companies from China. Or the same deal happening with overpriced rail cars bought from Russia, that are not performing even comparably better than the French ones we could have bought for much, much cheaper.
My country mostly faces no US pressure except when it's blocking NATO or EU proceedings, to the chagrin of all the other member states. Even then, the government could do what it wanted, no matter how stupid. Worst thing they did was pay less of the free money that they were paying to help us grow in the first place.
