U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called China a "ticking time bomb" because of its economic challenges and said the country was in trouble because of weak growth.

    Go read about BRI infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia. The global south is generally very positive about Chinese politics because Chinese give them hospitals and roads and ports.

        Maybe the US should try bribing people instead of bombing them

        Maybe the US should start “bribing” with infrastructure projects then, I thought they were all about their soft power or whatever

          You know the US is upstanding because it won’t even bribe its own citizens by giving them anything that would improve their lives no matter how hard they vote. True democracy!

        The nefarious Chinese are tricking people into supporting them by checks notes improving their material conditions.

        Thank God I live in America where I’ll never have to worry about the government doing that.
