Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing cannot accept any country acting as the “world’s judge” after the United States captured Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.
The world’s second-largest economy has provided Venezuela with an economic lifeline since the U.S. and its allies ramped up sanctions in 2017, purchasing roughly $1.6 billion worth of goods in 2024, the most recent full-year data available.
Almost half of China’s purchases were crude oil, customs data shows, while its state-owned oil giants had invested around $4.6 billion in Venezuela by 2018, according to data from the American Enterprise Institute think tank, which tracks Chinese overseas corporate investment.
How exactly am I a CIA shill? This is the kind of shit that makes people not take you seriously at all.
“Everyone must be a shill because they disagree with me!!”
I’m equally critical of both the US hegemony as well as that of China’s.
I’m saying China hasn’t bombed nearly as many countries as America. Yet China is evil and America good.
Take a moment to understand what you’re arguing here. China not bombing an equal number of countries (according to you) as the US does not absolve the PRC of their sins simply because you are comparing them to another imperial power. This is, like, textbook false equivalence.
You still haven’t answered exactly how I’m a CIA shill, btw.
China and America are the two biggest economies and armies of the world. It’s a fair comparison. Soon the world will have to choose between America and China.
It’s not “according to me”. History is proof of America’s terrorism. China hasn’t bombed a single country in over a century.
Deep in that sino sauce, I see. You’re just a propagandist with no legitimate intent for discourse.
Peace, you dummy.
Looks like you have no arguments left to defend the “peace loving” west.
Bombing other countries isn’t the only metric you should be using.
As someone who lives on the earth, I care a lot about not being bombed.
What’s more important to you than not being bombed?
And that’s the only thing you care about?
I care about not dying a lot, yeah
And you know that people die other ways than being bombed, right?
Now, put it all together.
