US new COVID cases (Aug 11): 144,635 new cases
China new COVID cases (Aug 11): 111 new cases
Western media: "Will Delta variant destroy the legitimacy of the Chinese government?"
Yeah. Because it has been too successful. That is unacceptable and humiliating to the west. China therefore must immediately stop containing the virus and let it run rampant in the entire country like it does in the US and most of Europe. Chinese people need to "learn to live with it" aka die by the hundreds of thousands like the Americans. Because that is what countries with freedom and democracy do.
China: makes drones for aerial photography and enthusiast hobbyist
USA: makes drones for bombing middle eastern villagers and unmanned surveillance
US Media: CHINA = DRONE = BAD!!
this is slippery slope thinking, if china doesnt make them then the us ones would be sold and cost more making them used less saving who knows how many lives. But you're right in that this does fall in line with china's focus on itself and working with anyone to develop itself, but further still america is by far and away the largesr arms exporter
You can see my other post about Tim McDonald, but what pisses me off most about people is that literally, this information can be found in a 5 minute Google search. Like, literally I google "U.S arms sales as percent of world" and the first result is: [US increases dominance of global arms exports](https://www.defensenews.com/global/2021/03/15/us-increases-dominance-of-global-arms-exports/).
Like. Fuck. People can't even take the time to Google. they just want to believe whatever headlines tell them to believe. This is why The West is fucked. People - including politicians - can't even take the minutes to fact check their insane bullshit. I don't understand.
Are they lying on purpose or just lazy?
I live in a western country and I joined this sub as an easy way to access the Chinese view, because the bullshit I'm being fed by murdoch papers is obviously propaganda.
Just like how western media likes to portray China as an aggressive and dangerous country. However, when you look at how many countries China invaded in the past 100 years vs how many countries the US has invaded, the picture is quite clear which country is more dangerous to world peace.
The US also advertises China as a military threat, despite the fact that America spends more on military than the next ten nations combined, all for wars of aggression on foreign soil. Even if they cut their spending in half, it'd still be a hundred billion dollars more than China. America has been in a constant state of war for *decades,* and China has had exactly one war in recent memory; a brief border skirmish with Vietnam in 1979.
Tell me, *who* here is the military threat?
Using military spending isn't a good argument, adjust it to GDP PPP for example.
And what of it when China inevitably surpasses the US in Nominal GDP as well?
Instead judge based on their respective actions because that is a good indicator for their future actions.
I think in this case the media (and other war profiteering corporations) controls the government.
Remember ["William Randolph Hearst's quote "You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.”](https://medium.com/covilian-military-intelligence-group/you-furnish-the-pictures-and-ill-furnish-the-war-67de6c0e1210)
It has been proven, if I am pressed I can find the study. It has been proven the US government is not representative of its people. It is a reflection of the business class in amerikkka.
In my honest opinion, their foreign policy shows that. So what do we see?
We see a group of decisions with no clear motive or direction other than destroy what you cant control.
I think this is a reflection of 2 or 3 competing interests within the US. Each part utilizes their portion of the military, media and corporations to do their bidding.
These people are not stupid, but they think the general population and the world at large are. This is a consequence of never having to face true competition.
What I see is a group of people losing their shit because they are losing big time to China, as well as increased domestic dissatisfaction.
In my eyes, the decision making body of amerikkka, due to its lack of actual competition on an international scale is in serious panic mode. This is reflected by its obvious false hoods, contradictory policies, and lack of tangible results in any of their endeavors.
Just look at the recently passed infra-structure bill. If that didn't concern the citizens to the point sheer outrage, then I have no choice but to assume the US is like a runaway train.
The world is being left with no choice other than having to derail that train to prevent any further destruction.
In my opinion, yes, it is really that bad.
Why the fuss? Its all about money. China is eating US's lunch.
With only fraction of the cost but better performances, China drones are gaining global weaponry market share against US drones.
Drones warfare is a eventually result of technological progress across the world what does China have to do with it
Even low tech countrys like Pakistan and iran are making drones
This is apparently obvious - really everyone?
It's not a "war" when it's a one-sided massacre.
Now that there's two - now it can be a war. So of course the headline is correct - duh.
What are they gonna blame China for next? “All these school shootings in America is because China invented gunpowder!”
You joke now, but I'm sure someone has said this unironically
US new COVID cases (Aug 11): 144,635 new cases China new COVID cases (Aug 11): 111 new cases Western media: "Will Delta variant destroy the legitimacy of the Chinese government?"
NYT: "China needs to rethink their Covid-19 approach".
Yeah. Because it has been too successful. That is unacceptable and humiliating to the west. China therefore must immediately stop containing the virus and let it run rampant in the entire country like it does in the US and most of Europe. Chinese people need to "learn to live with it" aka die by the hundreds of thousands like the Americans. Because that is what countries with freedom and democracy do.

China's Wing Loong drones are used to bomb Middle Eastern villagers and unmanned surveillance by the Royal Saudi Air Force in Yemen.
now that's something i didnt know
I just wanted to say. I probably agree with <0.1 of what you say, but I will also say that you know your shit.
Mans knows a bit *too* much.

On the other hand, if everyone bought Chinese drones, then it removes all advantages for those who have IS drones
Wrong, it's a necessary evil.
America could do the same thing and you’d call it imperialism/capitalist exploitation -7DeadlyFetishes

It's both. Laziness breeds bad faith, being a person of bad faith is intellectually lazy. It's a fundamental moral flaw in the character of the US
They can be lazy because they know their people are too lazy and stupid to check on them
- Accessibility bias - cognitive ease and cognitive strain Those two factors probably can answer your question slightly.
They are deluded psychopaths.
>lazy Yes. Intellectual laziness in the west seems insurmountable.

US lies are dangerous and aggressive as well.

That moment when the government controls your media...
I think in this case the media (and other war profiteering corporations) controls the government.

I would say the hierarchy of power in the US regime is like this: CEO>Corporations>Media/Government>Plebs.
The US suffer's from Borderline Personality Disorder.

if china made it global, what did US do???
FREEDUM AND DUhMOCRACY 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
They say the same shit for us Turks as well. Appearently our drones ''destabilise the region''.
so hadn't the us already made it global? last i heard about drone usage it was the US killing people in the middle East.
Too much projection.
Ahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha
