China is deepening scientific links with low- and middle-income countries. Europe and the United States would be wise to join this effort, which could help to resolve economic, environmental and political crises.

    Cheap labour, abundant resources, and hazy intellectual property protection. Hmm, where have I heard this before?

    Oh that’s right, neocolonialism!

      “oh no, science is progressing, we must stop it by any means necessary!”

      That’s what you sound like.

      I do not want another Cold War, thank you very much. China isn’t a threat.

              Shorthand for Neoconservative. Generally very warhawkish on foreign policy - They had a major hand in the prolonging of the Vietnam War. Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld aligned closely with them throughout Bush Jr.'s presidency, too, contributing to the thoroughly disastrous Iraq War and War on Terror at large. I am eager to avoid any confrontations they would approve of.

      Oh fuck off. Nothing in life is so simple that entire nation states are wholely good or wholely bad.

      Don’t fill your head with so much hate and fear there’s no room for your brain.

        A country with concentration camps, slave labor, Russia and North Korea support and a very aggressive imperialistic general behavior is bad, there is no stepping down from how bad it is. If you support China, go live there. Live in the dictatorship shithole that causes your “vanishing” if you are speaking against winnie pooh

        or want to learn about actual history.

        The only good thing is that Chinas existence and aggressive behavior is increasing my Stock portfolio wich mostly consists of Arms companys… But in that case i can put my personal gains behind the wellbeing of humanity as a whole.

          What are you smoking? I don’t want to live in China, I don’t even particularly want to live in my own country lmao.

          That doesn’t mean I don’t want cooperation between citizenry to flourish where possible. When superpowers fight everyone outside of a few elites suffer.
