Wow, this article is just a burning pile of rubbish. No. Xi was not happy with trump. We had a trade war. No, kowtowing to dictators is not the way to stop dictators. How is trump brown-nosing xijinping an indication of "comprehensive economic policy"?
This is just a weird right-wing plea to allow civil-rights-abuse sympathizers back into US office.
Imagine being so ignorant that you think China is a dictatorship. 😂
So you just don't know what a dictatorship is? Or the hallmarks of one?
If you don't know definitions or care about cultural context, it sounds like you're the one who's ignorant.
Nah I know what a dictatorship is, but you clearly don't. Maybe learn a bit about the subject you're attempting to debate so as not to make a clown of yourself in the future.
Instead of name calling when you are priced wrong, try using any relevant sources to back up your ill-informed retorts.
Nah, I'm just stating basic facts and I've provided actual sources to back up what I say. You're just a deluded person who'd be much better off spending time educating themselves instead of trolling on public forums.
You're flooding free-thinking communities with proh authoritarianism articles and sentiments.
You can keep running away from your problems as much as you want, but it's not going to make you look any more correct.
I love how you see no irony in talking about "free-thinking" communities while trying to police what people say here. 🤡
I'm exposing you for spreading harmful falsities. It's easy and satisfying.
It absolutely is a dictatorship. China ranks bottom 10 of all freedom indices.
People who actually live in China disagree with your there champ, but I guess that's what you end up believing when you guzzle propaganda like CIA funded freedom indexes.

The people in China do think that Xi is a dictator, you are making things up using obviously propagandized mock evidence as proof.
Dang, all of your posts and comments are so embarrassing to read.
Literally linked you western studies showing that vast majority of people in China think they have a democracy, but of course a western chauvinist would think they know better. The only thing that's embarrassing here is you I'm afraid.
Rubbish! I understand you think you are afraid of me, but it's really just plain facts that you're afraid of.
I lived in China for years and speak Mandarin, I've never met a Chinese person who believes they live in a democracy.
You're just name calling because you know you've been called out for lying again.
If doing petty insults and projection helps you feel better then power to you. I've given you clear facts backed by actual research and public surveys. You don't understand what a dictatorship is, and evidently basic facts make you upset. That's a you problem.
Don't be afraid, the only thing you have to do is educate yourself. Do you also believe that Russia is a democracy? That Trump won the election? That North Korea isn't a dictatorship?
See now you're using the word "chauvinist" entirely improperly, again pointing out to the community that you don't understand definitions.
I understand your inclination to run away from the actual topic of conversation by yelping inappropriate slurs, but you're still wrong, no matter how hard you try to avoid the conversation or change topics.
Should really take your own advice. Russia is the same kind of an oligarchy as western "democracies". You're probably so uneducated that you think US is a democracy. 😂
Nah, I'm using the word chauvinist entirely properly. A chauvinist is someon who has excessive or prejudiced support for one's own cause or group. That's you right there buddy.
I understand your inclination to run away from the actual topic of conversation by yelping inappropriate slurs, but you’re still wrong, no matter how hard you try to avoid the conversation or change topics.
Aw, you're taking my posts on American oligarchy to inform your opinions? While changing the subject again lends no credibility to your original mistake, I will take this as a compliment and accept your concession, thanks.
I am proud of you for googling the definition to chauvinist. Now that you've done that, you should be able to figure out that it does not fit me at all. You're trying to avoid responsibility for your own inaccuracies.
You could've done literally anything else, and yet you took the time to write that comment. 😂
I like exposing liars and trolls. Eating up your tears.
that's an interesting way to say that you're trolling and can't even make a coherent argument
It's a very clear way of saying that every time I see you promoting harmful ideologies, I'll prove you wrong.
Yes, I'm sure you prove a lot of people wrong in your head.
You might want to move on from the soapbox in your head, try these things that I did, approving you wrong through the incorrect language you used, objective evidence, popular consensus. These are all work very well to prove you wrong and obviously are more convincing than muttering untrue epithets in your head.
All you've done was repeat baseless claims over and over like a broken record. Evidently that's what passes for making an argument in your head.
I've clearly and simply refuted your harmful lies the last few days. Seeing as how you are incapable of discerning fact from fiction, I don't think anyone is surprised at your confusion.
All you've done is repeat nonsense that's not actually based in reality nor have your provided a single credible source to support this nonsense. Everybody can see this and that's why you're getting downvoted. Nobody is actually buying your bullshit here.
I think as long a long as you keep telling yourself harsh truths like this, you'll eventually be able to change. Best of luck
Yup, you keep on projecting there.
Someone has to clean up your mess.
Adorable that you think that's what you're doing.
Great sources there, dude. You're non-ironically linking socialistchina.org.
You expect anyone to take that seriously?
The Freedom Indices are aggregated lists from over nine different countries with nonprofit organisations dedicated to fairness, equality and, most importantly, freedom. They measure this through a variety of tactics, which you can visit by seeing each organisation.
All of your sources consist of the sane survey done on Chinese citizens on ranking their own government. North Korea would also be in favour of their government.
The man responsible for the survey, Edward Cunningham, also has investments in Chinese assets.
Most recently he has engaged in work on the rise of Chinese private wealth and philanthropy. He serves as an advisor to private and publicly listed companies in the energy, environmental, and financial services sectors.
Likewise, the survey source itself even acknowledges China's authoritarianism.
The rest of your sources are known for Fake Information..
Just in case you delete your comments out of embarrassment, I'm going to tag you, @yogthos@lemmy.ml
Stop spreading fake news. China is a dictatorship and one of the least freest countries.
Yeah, I'm unironically linking to sources that aren't US propaganda. I'm also linking to plenty of western sources like Harvard that say the same thing. Meanwhile, the freedom index is literal US propaganda that targets people who lack basic critical thinking facilities. Of course, your comment makes it pretty clear that no amount of facts would ever convince you. So, there's no point trying to have a discussion with you.
Provably incorrect opinions without basic corroborating evidence are not facts.
You don't have facts.
The fact that you thought I would delete my comments shows just how far off the deep end you are buddy. The only one who should be embarrassed here is you, but you don't even realize it.
And where is this supposed war supposed to occur?
