yeah i think it's it's a tough uh it's a tough discussion um because I mean everything is an ongoing process and what we see in the US is rapidly progressing in a negative direction, and what we see in china arguably is going in a more positive direction.
I mean if to take the the treatment of muslims for example, between the two nations, between the us and China, there is you know highly questionable re-education initiatives (referring to China)...... where there's occupation and bombing and murder for 20 years (referring to the US). So one of those is worse clearly like the US treatment of muslims is dramatically worse that's not to say the other is good but....yeah i don't know what the answer is there.
I think we need to be cognizant of a country's progress in in whichever direction it's going and i am critically supportive of China.
I think some of their initiatives are very good, um poverty alleviation um, public transportation, um sustainable cities that they're building. now I have my problems with them but without the existence of a superpower that fits all our criteria here in the west, if China is willing to support democratic socialist nations, or budding socialist movements, and not be coercive of them or meddle in their affairs like the united states does, I think that is a more positive approach.
