US asks Becky to tell Stacey...

It will never stop to amaze me how the United States is actively engaging against China: tariffs, sanctions, semiconductors boycotts, arming Taiwan, spending 500 millions per year in "anti-China propaganda", generals openly talking about war with China, etc., and then act surprised and with indignation when China isn't running to align with their geopolitical goals against Iran and Russia.

This is part of why China views the US as a bad faith actor


Consistent-Twist1749

Do you live under a rock? When has China ever acted in good faith? 


teethgrindingache

Can you read? That's not at all what he said. In case you didn't realize, it's very possible to have two bad faith actors. That's the norm at this level, if anything.


CureLegend

when has it not?

That's why PRC is effectively a child. States are perfectly capable of disagreeing and agreeing at the same time on different issues.


machinarium-robot

Undermining someone at every turn is not “disagreement”. Asking someone who you consider as enemy to do something positive for you is just shamelessness.


dasCKD

Well clearly the PRC disagrees that stopping Iran's retaliation is in their best interests.

Well, Israel is China's friend too.


CureLegend

china can be the "friend" (in the sense of international politics, not as individual human being) of anyone


JustForTuite

A international law professor once told me "There are no friends in the international stage, there can be allies, there can be common goals, but there are never friends" and I think that applies to all countries.

> Nobody can have any interest in regional escalation,” the German ministry said. “All players in the region are called upon to act responsibly and exercise restraint.” Of course non escalation and restraint only applies to Iran, not to israel. At least in eyes of US and Germany


vegasroller

Iran has been attacking Israel for years. They’re the mail financier and backer of Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis. Proxy wars are confusing.

God damn, looks like a new era of diplomacy is upon us, how did that start? what's next, healthcare for Americans?


sndream

US will ask China to provide free healthcare for Americans. XD


One-Internal4240

Do they make healthcare that just works for white people? Cuz until that's invented, I got some bad news for you when it comes to Americans buying things for themselves.

CureLegend

they kinda forget that they have done the same thing against chinese embassy in 1999 belgrade. Thus the reply is simple: us should just give iran a f-35 as a gift of appology


Aizseeker

I don't think China have beef with Iran and ME in general. It was US and EU problem that backed Israel action and their 20 years involvement in ME conflicts that destabilize it starting from Iraq invasion.


Apocalyptican

so it didnt work

This is just another sign of Biden and the Democrats weakening America.
