Like the amount of half truth and ignored nuance in this piece is staggering.
EDIT: It is even more insane when you consider there is an explicit plan by the US intelligence state to break up and balkanize China. Like they aren't even trying to keep it secret.

President xi jinping declared in July that those who get in the way of China’s ascent will have their “heads bashed bloody against a Great Wall of steel.”
For some reason, I doubt this is what he said.

During the last election in Venezuela US media was reporting that people who didn't vote for Maduro's party were being denied food. What happened was women were telling their partners that if you don't vote, you don't eat. Eat in Venezuela is slang for having sex. If you don't vote, you don't fuck.
:vote: :volcel-judge:
I feel conflicted.
Full support to modern-day Venezuelan Lysistratae.

he said those who 'bully, oppress or enslave us'. the entire article is insane.
at the time of speech, and even with a truthful translation, there were liberals and conservatives who felt threatened by it. just a fucking testament to how bloodthirsty of a people we anglos are. brings me back memories of my chud family members arguing islam is a violent religion. nah dude, look within.
Walls are famously defensive implements.
They only work if people come to kill you. A great wall of steel is a great descriptor of Chinas armed forces.
IIRC it was a figure of speech about enemies bashing their own heads against a great wall of steel made of the will of all the Chinese people, or something to that effect.

It's because the imperial core think they have the right to bully, oppress and enslave the rest of the world
