Meanwhile China is now the destroyer of world freedom.

Well, if you're ticking off China I suppose you are doing something right.

Yes, China's annexing of Tibet, killing the men and having the women marry Chinese soldiers was not the act of a peaceful country. Also China's insistence that all of the islands in the South China Sea belong to them is a very aggressive act.

As if US-American's didn't do the same all around the world with over 700 extraterritorial military bases and tax-financed extraterritorial bombing and drone-murder. Tztztz...

These guys still see the whole middle- and south-American continent as their backyard (Pinochet, Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua and almost countless other examples).

The outcry would be much bigger if there ever was seen a Chinese military ship in the Carribean, e.g. .

What about Guantanamo bay, Panama channel, etc. ? Weren't these annexed (by contract) by US of A ?

Your argumentation is very double-measured in this case. Just admit it.

Above that: Most of US territory was either taken by force or bought (for no measurable counter-worth) from the natives which they then put in concentration camps. Some till today. So even less ethics there.

The Han-Chinese at least had some serious wars for their territory as well as they have a history that is worth being called such.

Straight to whataboutery.

People, don't rise to this stuff. Tell them to keep to the topic and stop distracting.

I was not taking the side of the US where I have not lived for...a looong time and will not be going back to. Just pointing out that China is militarily aggressive. I do have a US passport and would change it except it is a major undertaking. I agree with you about US militarism and that is one reason why I no longer live there.

At least you are consequent in your decisions. Chinese tend to copy concepts they regard as good. As literally every German engineering firm knows. :)

Just look at their cars, e.g. . Like clicked together from a lego set of designs from all big German brands.

Well they copied the best cars.

Are they ? I was in Mercedes and BMW IT services for quite a time and drive a Lada privately. My officers all drive Audi or VW. What does this tell you?

Right: I won' t touch a German car no matter how near it gets. Best of feelings is i sit in it.

In a backseat.
