As someone from neither the US nor China, neither are altruistic and both have horrible histories, both meddle in my country’s affairs, and neither have my interests at heart.
China’s got plenty of blood on its hands, pretending otherwise is silly. America does, too. It’s quite easy for me to condemn both their governments and trust neither.
The USA has far more innocent blood on its hands, this century, than any other nation state.
And only nationalist/racists ignore the fact that China has lifted a billion people out of poverty during the same period that the USA and its allies have destroyed countless other sovereign nations and left 36 million refugees from their illegal wars for the world to deal with...
China has a lot, lot better record on human rights than any member state of the criminal 5-eyes/9-eyes countries, which engage in massive human rights violations at atrocious scales every minute of the day.
If you want to talk about this century and human rights, then you better look inwards. You're obviously a nationalist yourself, accusation in a mirror as is typical.
I am absolutely not a nationalist, and yes I do hold my birth nation accountable for its crimes against humanity.
