One of the great coups in history. After the collapse of the wall, the worst among us sold out their principles to pretend that somehow they could prop up China, isolate Russia, and be rid of communism for good.
Now China is a Super Power, replacing Russia, while still a strong ally to Russia. How did the West go from having the U.S being the sol Super Power after the Eastern Bloc collapse, to now chasing their tails as China expands economically, militarily and in their global influence?
Who hired these "experts"? How much did they retire with? Why would anyone believe that the Chinese Communist world view would be great for humanity?
I haven't stopped shaking my head for years, even as I deal with my own creepy, socialist system.
BEIJING — The foreign ministers of China and Russia displayed unity at their meeting Tuesday amid criticism and Western sanctions against them over human rights.
Wang Yi and Sergei Lavrov rejected outside sniping at their authoritarian political systems and said they were working to further global progress on issues from climate change to the coronavirus pandemic.
At their initial meeting in the southern Chinese city of Nanning on Monday, Wang and Lavrov accused the U.S. of interference in other countries’ affairs and urged it to rejoin the Iran nuclear agreement, something that President Joe Biden’s new administration has approached cautiously. Russia and China both maintain close relations with Tehran.
The two officials continued that rhetoric at a news conference on Tuesday, where Wang sharply criticized co-ordinated sanctions brought by the European Union, Britain, Canada and the United States against Chinese officials over human rights abuses in China’s far western Xinjiang region.
“Countries should stand together to oppose all forms of unilateral sanctions," Wang said. “These measures will not be embraced by the international community."
