    The West has friends based on values. China doesn’t have friends. They are opportunists and care about one thing: growth.

      Come on man that’s such a naive bs take. Outright propaganda I would say.

        Gotta agree with this one :) but hey, when there’s an opportunity to handle based on values, we sure take it.

        The biggest letdown has been Israel.

        Now that ties with USA have weakened, we can take a stronger stance.

        By the way. China’s issue with Europe is that we aren’t suppressed by our governments. We can trash talk the CCP like no other.
