But don't you define lackeys as being people who also say china isn't trustworthy? Ie it's a circular logic you seem to got there, based on past ml experiences.
Do you also distrust climate scientists? Doctors? I think you should hold healthy skepticism for claims, but to outright distrust anything China says just because they have a state is overkill.
And this post is a great example of how the democrats shifted further and further to the right wing.
I see dot-ml users are accidentally upvoting me because I shat on the democrats. While they do suck in this case the demonstration is actually that someone who is trying to coddle the dot-ml groupthink shifts further and further into that groupthink for zero meaningful gains. They still got heavily downvoted despite trying to reach out to the hive mind. This is what happens to democrats who try to coddle the analogous republican groupthink. They too shift further into the groupthink and are punished by everyone for it.
A stopped clock is right twice a day. America has a terrible and corrupt government, but that doesn't mean they're wrong about not trusting china's government.

Both countries have their issues, but certainly Xi Jinping is more trustworthy than Donald Trump.

Let's start with: governments are untrustworthy being made of people
So who told you china is trustworthy?
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 274d
The Chinese people. Non-anecdotal evidence, from an anglo source:

These all sound good for the Chinese as a people, my question was about the government being trustworthy in what it tells people.
1st and 3rd links seem potentially good, the wage increase...you must know that's a terrible comparison.

I mean, all government sponsored sources are going to be biased. No media should be trusted wholesale

only one of the governments is run by a bunch of pedophiles being blackmailed by mossad

Is it just the US saying not to trust the Chinese government?
Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 274d
The US and our lackeys, yes

It would only be circular if their agreement on China was the sole indication of their subservience to US interests, that is not the case
Empathy@beehaw.org · 1 pts · 274d
what are some of the other indicators?
Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 274d
US military bases

He said he doesn't trust both the US and China, he never says someone told him anything. I'm thinking false dilemma?

Could it perhaps be, I don’t know, the entire rest of the world calling out China's own genocides?
And no, the US has no leg to stand on when it comes to stamping out ethnic groups, especially Muslims. So?
optissima@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 274d
Crazy how the genocide number is now multiple with just as many sources as before

NATO countries are not “the rest of the world.” Previously.
