people don't really care about history or long screeds regarding history though. they care about the present and simple, easy to observe facts.

Compare the bilateral aid given... US is #1,

, yet approval rates are similar. Also, Africans don't identify with African Americans, so there's that too.

where's the cope? I even said that China's soft power is anemic compared to Qatar and Russia, hell, even the Taliban, who are actually pretty good at social media era soft power. But that's who China should learn from (and as distasteful as I find their policies, westerners like Donald Trump, Ben Shapiro, etc) rather than New York Times, CNN or any of that 'cerebral' dinosaur mainstream media.

China if in OECD would be around France levels at #4 or so yet approval rates are similar.



France is still colonizing Africa now and has a similar reputation as China. Once again, you prove just how bad Chinese messaging is and how good French psychological warfare is. Again, an angel has the same reputation of a demon.

I can't tell what us "aid" is without very specific accounting because it's often used as a Trojan horse along side seemingly legitimate activities.



US AID was created in 1961 to help the United States win the 'hearts and minds' of citizens in poor countries through civic action, economic aid and humanitarian assistance. As a cold war policy tool, the agency was, at times, used as a front for CIA operations and operatives. Among the most infamous examples was the Office of Public Safety, a US AID police training program in the Southern Cone that also trained torturers.

This is baseless. Yes they care about history. You are right that they won't research it or read through hundreds of pages of boring crap. However, they can be reached with the right messaging.



Even if they didn't care about history, they would still hate America for its current vicious racism against Blacks. The fact that they have such a high opinion of America and France is not because they are forgiving or apathetic towards history. It is because they are deliberately kept ignorant by western propagandists. You saw the same situation in Hong Kong with people brainwashed into seeing their colonizers as the good guys. The textbooks even taught them the insane lie that Britain waged the opium wars to “save” China from drugs.

Do you think we will see ships in Taiwanese territorial waters?
It's an opportunity for the PLA to do some minor 'not-blockading' every time an EU MP or American Rep visits Taiwan.
That said, touching the line already sets the precedent. Future exercises can be further out, use less ships but announcing a fairly large exclusion zone will force cargo ships to alter course.
Got to calibrate the response after all.

It'll be criminally stupid to not take advantage of the opening Pelosi has given.

european head of diplomacy chimes in

“our countries”? so now we’re officially part of the us?
Fun Fact: The EU is a collection of US vassal states and is led by de-facto US collaborators/agents (i.e. useful idiots) in Brussels. The EU is not an independent or responsible entity. It will mostly side with its bosses in Washington DC when it comes to geopolitics. This is sad ,destabilizing and ultimately dangerous reality.

Instead of acting responsibly and somewhat sovereign, they decided to aid and abet an increasingly out-of-control Neocon/Neolib US.
