Eh if ur an american republican talk all the shit about china and russia and Africa u want u'll swim w/ praise
China bashing as an agenda to stop free trade in favor of protectionism and tariffs under the "our nation is gr8 buy from america china is out to get u" banner is a huge talking point here rn
Eh, I'm intermediate but right leaning so the "elite european opinion on american politics" would ruin me.
I don't like China, but I don't feel the need to constantly shit on them either. My only opinion is that something needs to come from how they handled covid, because they showed how little they cared when this all started. (though Trump failed us as well.)
My point is that American politicians and pundits are exploiting China's mistakes to instill fear into its citizens in order to promote a particular protectionist, nationalistic agenda and that's disgusting
