”China has the right to conduct normal cooperation with countries around the world. We have always opposed unilateral sanctions and ‘long-arm jurisdiction’ that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council,” Chinese FM spokeswoman Mao Ning said in response to Washington’s allegations that Chinese businesses were helping Russia.
I think a lot of people don’t realize that the West tried to colonize China.
What?! Who’s the ‘west’ and when was this attempt made? Where was it made? How was it made? By whom? With what army?

LOL russian intrusions into china when you share a border is HARDLY “the west trying to colonize china.”
@aniki Russia isn’t the West so it’s obvious that’s not what I was referring to.
You kind of have to bother reading the links if you want to continue this conversation.
What I said isn’t at all controversial. It’s a simple historical fact.
Except your wrong. Get over it.
@aniki this is such a bizarre conversation. Why did you ask me those questions if you didn’t really want to know the answer?
And why are you so resistant to the answer, for that matter?
The British, French, German, and US conflicts in China are a fascinating part of history. Someday when you’re not so upset you should read up on it.
I know but that doesn’t have much to do with suppressing their own people, IMO.
What they do with dissidents and Uyghurs is pretty bad.
@Zworf yikes I’m not trying to defend it.
But I think the attempted colonization and war crimes did not really endear people to the idea of adopting a Western political system.
