People have been conditioned to throw away perfectly good shit, now we are surprised they throw away shit. This policy is obviously not gonna fix the issue on its own, but as you said, it’s welcome.

Nice revisionism mate.

I agree with you, and I’m not arguing to trust them blindly. What I am against is accusing them without evidence, which is what is happening here.

I am arguing for Trust, but Verify. China is useful right now as we slowly veer away from US services.

I’m sorry, where were these people captured? In China? No? They were captured in Ukraine

Do you know how many European citizens are currently fighting in Ukraine? I suppose in your mind we are already at war with Russia, Article 5 has been triggered and all. Right?

And these fighters call those claims into question. Do you need a fucking puppet show?!

Yes, I do. Because these two events don’t connect, unless you just want to hate on China.

No comment on that “apologist” retort. I know some of you guys like to pretend that Chinese people are part of some hivemind and have no autonomy from their government whatsoever, but that’s just straight up racism from your part. There really is no other word for it.

Yeah, they could. Or, they also couldn’t.

The reason we are skeptical is 1. China wins nothing by participating in this conflict, and 2. They don’t have a history of being interested in war anyway.

Edit: loving the downvotes with zero counter arguments. I can see this community is as toxic as ever. Remember the mantra your US overlords taught you: “China Bad”. 🤡

I understand, but I mean, because two Chinese soldiers were found, is this somehow a declaration of war?

People can volunteer for war from any nationality and to assume anything based on this is pretty disrespectful considering China has been quite clear on their stance on this matter.

We might be needing China more than ever, too, so I think it’s a mistake to antagonise them without a cause.

Two? So what? Is this article trying to imply China is in full support of Russia’s invasion based on this extreme anecdote?

I’m all in favour of Ukraine and Zelensky but this a nothing burger.

Yannis Varoufakis has been talking about this for years now, but everyone just wanted to call him a dumb socialist instead of listening to reason. Very sad.

Thw government would need to be an actually democratic government for that to happen. But alas, they are all landlords.

This is unironically great copywriting. Either that or chatGPT.

I wonder what OP does for a living.

My country has daylight savings and I still went to school at night, so that point is kinda mute.
