I don't know about China, but Biden is really throwing stones from glass houses here as the leader of a country which is teetering on the edge of civil war, had a full blown insurrection in the past few years, and not only has it failed to prosecute the leader and instigator, it has allowed him to run for election again and there is a possibility of him being elected.

And this is not mentioning that so many in the highest offices "on both sides" are so hilariously corrupt in a country with its national ethos being "the land of the free".

I'm not happy about this by the way, I don't think a world order built by China would be better than the shitty one we got from the US.

I do to be honest.

I’d rather be under the rule of a hegemony that is composed of many different cultures and in the process of healing than one who is still actively genociding their minorities.

EDIT: Welp, I guess there is no war in Ba Sing Se. Ya'll are expert brigaders, well done.
