some pretty choice quotes in here

“The U.S. is in no position to tell China off,” she said. Then she mentioned the three journalists who were killed in NATO’s bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade in 1999, a tragic incident that prompted widespread anti-U.S. protests in China.

“NATO still owes the Chinese people a debt of blood,” she said. You sent

"Recent speeches by some of China’s most influential advisers to the government on international relations suggest that the miscalculation may have been based on deep distrust of the United States. They saw it as a declining power that wanted to push for war with false intelligence because it would benefit the United States, financially and strategically."

also mentions 'little pinks' which I guess is the Chinese equivalent to 'tankies' more or less?

    overall chinese people are prety naieve about anti-asian racism in foreign lands because the state controlled media tries to keep a lid on nationalism and really avoids fanning the flames of hatred.

    i know a lot of chinese that went to america and were totally shocked by the level of racism that poc encounter on a day to day basis simply because it isn't a thing highlighted outside of the "little pinks" that people scoff at for exaggerated antiwest sentiment

      thanks for the input comrade :heart-sickle:

      since I literally just learned about 'little pinks' from NYT and that wiki page, it's good to have some more perspective
