French President Emmanuel Macron is calling on medium-sized powers to join forces and stand up to the US and China bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@business What exactly has China done to be regarded as an enemy

@Deccx2 @business

@basestone21 @business Assuming that is Tiananmen Sq. Does this picture show protesters or soldiers. The military juntas in the Americas or S.E. Asia were horrendous but that never was a problem in becoming allies to the West. You need a stronger argument than a disputed protest.

@Deccx2 @business So because somewhere else thiong were wrong too, there's nothing wrong in China today? Whataboutism is for idiots.

@basestone21 @business It is selective outrage. Adopting a moral stance against one country whilst your allies are even worse. Hypocrisy run wild

@Deccx2 @business Deep insights from the country that oppressed half of the world and killed thousands doing it? Is that how it's done?

@basestone21 @business Since when did Ireland oppress half the world unless you are against pubs in general

@Deccx2 @business Not Ireland, UK. That's how you play it. Were you Irish, your opinion would totally matter, but as a brit it's mainly arrogant bs. And don't tell anyone you're European. No one's gonna take your opinion on China's communist party seriously.

@basestone21 @business I am Irish though and I live in Ireland. You should not talk politics if you don't know the nuances of the politics on the island of Ireland

@Deccx2 @business Can you please write me the extensive list of the preconditions according to your wise ruling for me to be entitled to talk politics? Or should I just say that you can take your opinion on what I should and shouldn't do and shove it up your arse?
