Ahhhh but if I am China my rhetoric would be better identical to that of Joe Biden and his leftist base. He doesn’t state that we have made major strides and continue to make major strides. He states our country is systematically racist. Not sure how since a black citizen has equal legal rights to a white citizen and so forth. It is not always what you say but how you say it.Seems to me there’s an easy response to this sort of rhetoric from the Chinese, specifically:China is using the Left's rhetoric against us -- How can we be the moral compass of the world when our
“Yes, we have problems but at least we’re open about them and are attempting to address them, while in China the people can’t even TALK about all the problems, let alone attempt to do anything about them.”
Whatever problems that we have in the U.S. with respect to racism and sexism at least we aren’t locking people up in concentration camps like the Chinese are. We’re engaged in a national dialog to address those problems. Yes we go too far overboard at times with the rhetoric on race and sex but that’s pretty natural in the realm of politics.
Haley and Shapiro miss the point that as long as we’re being open about our problems and working toward solutions, we’ll ALWAYS have the moral high ground on those issues and China won’t. We lose the moral high ground as soon as we start attempting to cover up our shortcomings.
