      While I disagree with Democrats stance and agree it is a genocide, China would have the same stance as the Democrats as they don’t support Taiwanese independence. They similarly tacitly support russia in the Ukraine invasion.

        Westerners really are incapable of criticising their own countries without going “but I can only assume everyone else is just as bad!”

          Lol, I’m not American. I’m just pointing out the comment from pelosi doesn’t make sense. It adds to the reasons why it might be fake news.

          Attributing a comment like that to her works against her in 2 ways. It alienates those americans who would otherwise support Democrats as she appears to be supporting genocide and being racist, out of context.

          It also links China to the Democrats for those on the other side, who aren’t watching carefully for nuance.

          It’s not a case of countries good or bad, it’s a case of understanding their motives.
