Wow, this article is just a burning pile of rubbish. No. Xi was not happy with trump. We had a trade war. No, kowtowing to dictators is not the way to stop dictators. How is trump brown-nosing xijinping an indication of ācomprehensive economic policyā?
This is just a weird right-wing plea to allow civil-rights-abuse sympathizers back into US office.
Imagine being so ignorant that you think China is a dictatorship. š
So you just donāt know what a dictatorship is? Or the hallmarks of one?
If you donāt know definitions or care about cultural context, it sounds like youāre the one whoās ignorant.
Nah I know what a dictatorship is, but you clearly donāt. Maybe learn a bit about the subject youāre attempting to debate so as not to make a clown of yourself in the future.
Instead of name calling when you are priced wrong, try using any relevant sources to back up your ill-informed retorts.
Nah, Iām just stating basic facts and Iāve provided actual sources to back up what I say. Youāre just a deluded person whoād be much better off spending time educating themselves instead of trolling on public forums.
Youāre flooding free-thinking communities with proh authoritarianism articles and sentiments.
You can keep running away from your problems as much as you want, but itās not going to make you look any more correct.
I love how you see no irony in talking about āfree-thinkingā communities while trying to police what people say here. š¤”
It absolutely is a dictatorship. China ranks bottom 10 of all freedom indices.
People who actually live in China disagree with your there champ, but I guess thatās what you end up believing when you guzzle propaganda like CIA funded freedom indexes.

The people in China do think that Xi is a dictator, you are making things up using obviously propagandized mock evidence as proof.
Dang, all of your posts and comments are so embarrassing to read.
Literally linked you western studies showing that vast majority of people in China think they have a democracy, but of course a western chauvinist would think they know better. The only thing thatās embarrassing here is you Iām afraid.
Rubbish! I understand you think you are afraid of me, but itās really just plain facts that youāre afraid of.
I lived in China for years and speak Mandarin, Iāve never met a Chinese person who believes they live in a democracy.
Youāre just name calling because you know youāve been called out for lying again.
If doing petty insults and projection helps you feel better then power to you. Iāve given you clear facts backed by actual research and public surveys. You donāt understand what a dictatorship is, and evidently basic facts make you upset. Thatās a you problem.
Donāt be afraid, the only thing you have to do is educate yourself. Do you also believe that Russia is a democracy? That Trump won the election? That North Korea isnāt a dictatorship?
See now youāre using the word āchauvinistā entirely improperly, again pointing out to the community that you donāt understand definitions.
I understand your inclination to run away from the actual topic of conversation by yelping inappropriate slurs, but youāre still wrong, no matter how hard you try to avoid the conversation or change topics.
Should really take your own advice. Russia is the same kind of an oligarchy as western ādemocraciesā. Youāre probably so uneducated that you think US is a democracy. š
Nah, Iām using the word chauvinist entirely properly. A chauvinist is someon who has excessive or prejudiced support for oneās own cause or group. Thatās you right there buddy.
I understand your inclination to run away from the actual topic of conversation by yelping inappropriate slurs, but youāre still wrong, no matter how hard you try to avoid the conversation or change topics.
Great sources there, dude. Youāre non-ironically linking socialistchina.org.
You expect anyone to take that seriously?
The Freedom Indices are aggregated lists from over nine different countries with nonprofit organisations dedicated to fairness, equality and, most importantly, freedom. They measure this through a variety of tactics, which you can visit by seeing each organisation.
All of your sources consist of the sane survey done on Chinese citizens on ranking their own government. North Korea would also be in favour of their government.
The man responsible for the survey, Edward Cunningham, also has investments in Chinese assets.
Most recently he has engaged in work on the rise of Chinese private wealth and philanthropy. He serves as an advisor to private and publicly listed companies in the energy, environmental, and financial services sectors.
Likewise, the survey source itself even acknowledges Chinaās authoritarianism.
The rest of your sources are known for Fake Information..
Just in case you delete your comments out of embarrassment, Iām going to tag you, @yogthos@lemmy.ml
Stop spreading fake news. China is a dictatorship and one of the least freest countries.
The fact that you thought I would delete my comments shows just how far off the deep end you are buddy. The only one who should be embarrassed here is you, but you donāt even realize it.
Yeah, Iām unironically linking to sources that arenāt US propaganda. Iām also linking to plenty of western sources like Harvard that say the same thing. Meanwhile, the freedom index is literal US propaganda that targets people who lack basic critical thinking facilities. Of course, your comment makes it pretty clear that no amount of facts would ever convince you. So, thereās no point trying to have a discussion with you.
Provably incorrect opinions without basic corroborating evidence are not facts.
You donāt have facts.
š
You clearly didnāt read my comment or my sources. Your only link is to the same survey reported by different fake news and misinformation outlets.
The Freedom Indices ā Thatās indices, there are multiple ā are aggregated lists from over nine different countries with nonprofit organisations dedicated to fairness, equality and, most importantly, freedom. They measure this through a variety of tactics, which you can visit by seeing each organisation.
love you ignored the stuff about Edward Cunningham and the fact your primary source even acknowledges China is authoritarian.
you look quite silly right now :3
The fact that you donāt understand that the freedom index is US propaganda as opposed some independent list of genuine research shows that youāre incapable of rational thought. Youāre just a shill for the empire. The fact that you think Iām the one who looks silly here just further adds to hilarity here.
Big oof.
And where is this supposed war supposed to occur?
The place where US keeps war gaming it.
