The article is so written in that bizzare, contradictory liberal style that every article about a non-western state is written in. They are so desperate to make sure they don't accidentally say something neutral about China that they literally claimed that morphine is an ineffective painkiller and is barbaric compared to using ketamine. Just so they could say China is horrible because they started using ketamine as a battlefield drug after the West started using it.
The useful information has to be picked out of the liberal non-sense. It could be shortened down to a few paragraphs if you removed the anti-chinese bullshit.
If any of this was written about a western country none of you would support it.
Context matters. China isn’t in the West i.e. it hasn’t gotten rich from centuries of exploitation and colonialism. Instead it was on the other side of that equation and seeing them rise is an inspiration to all other countries sin the Global South.

Seriously, the complete lack of material analysis and ideological consistency is baffling at times.
I don’t get your point?

I thought it was a fairly pro China article tbh. Maybe I didn’t pick up on the subtle sinophobia.
It was hardly subtle. Nearly every sentence was full of it.
I’ll read the article again keeping in mind what you said.
