I am more ambivalent about China than most Hexbears (I am rational: the "absolutely everything China does is absolutely perfect" line is ridiculous), but this one policy makes me go wow

This is the best development in a long time. Wonderful leadership.

I'm not sure there are many of us that think they are perfect. It's just that when you compare them to the west they might as well be.

kinda off-topic for the thread, but I have seen people here defend the CPC's least defensible moves

I still can't forgive them for not doing anything to Nancy Pelosi's plane.

that they have not invaded the US and installed me, personally, as the leader of a transitional authority is probably their greatest crime.

Unforgivable that Xi Jinping has not broken into my home and whisked me away in the middle of the night away from this never-ending capitalist nightmare

Yeah, the Khmer Rouge and invading Vietnam, those were really fucking stupid moves ngl.

Anyone here defended those? Didn't seen it even once since federation.

i dont think so lol, seems everyone acknowledges these two things were boneheaded and unproductive (also vietnam kicked china's butt ngl lmao)

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago

also vietnam kicked china’s butt ngl lmao

I wouldn't say that, since China only send forces very limited compared to their potential, but Vietnam really did forced those to stop.

Vampire could be referring to more recent actions, although I don't know which specifically.
