Bot or not, the effect has backfired given that the western audience only truly respects power so if this bot is touting China’s superiority, all the better for Chinese people.
Damn, Elon really wants that lithium.
even their supposed “smart people” like Bridge Colby and Mearsheimer cannot let go of notions of western supremacy and a desire to destroy China simply because by existing, China presents a challenge to the religious notion of white western supremacy.
at least let the filtration point be Hong Kong airport since its large and has good amenities.
If there's one political entity in the world that resembles the Qing Dynasty its the EU. Still collectively the 3rd biggest economy and the world still has a high demand for European luxury products. That's on top of the fact that European cities are still the most desired tourist destinations in the world. But outside of a few companies, no relevance whatsoever in the sciences and the tech, militarily weak, and industrially hollowed out.
America today is more like Eastern Rome. Even chest beating American patriots have to admit that there are many shortcomings to America nowadays. (I mean the armchair geopolitical types waxing the endurance of Pax Americana, not the Trumpian extremists who think America today is less developed than Haiti) Liberal Democracy no longer has the dominance over the market place of ideas that it did in the post-war period and especially the complete hegemony it had after the Soviet Union fell, America's cities are all in sorry shape, and the country is thoroughly de-industrialized controlling no major supply chain. But America still boasts the world's most influential companies, powerful military, has the most extensive alliance system, and still by far exports the most culture.
So in short, the world has moved past the EU and Japan, and both places are already reckoning with that reality to various degrees. But America is still a superpower despite its shortcomings for a reason, much like how Eastern Rome was only half of the Roman Empire but by far still the most powerful Christian polity of their time.
Why does the car have an American flag on the rear view mirror? Why is the former president using a Samsung phone when we all know that any products that come from any U.S. affiliated countries would surely have back door installed on them, especially when used by people that have made moves against U.S. vital interests.
Cowboys and Indians.
Forever!
That the simple version.
The complicated version, is Orwell, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
That is why they need those drugs. Keep everyone happy!

They said the same thing about the "Axis of Resistance" how all of them each have different agendas yet somehow can get together against the US and the West that alarms them into panic. It says something more that you have two democracies daring to join BRICS against US/Western economic hegemony. And remember the greater hypocrisy that goes against their own narrative that democracies believe in human rights is the US had slaves and now is supporting genocide in Gaza. Do good guys strike hospitals so that injured people on their beds are burning to death? Who's the evil again when they claim they're the good guys...? Believing in human rights is not so important of a criteria for democracies after all.
Ancient Greeks had slaves, Romans had slaves and today's America has millions of slaves.
The logical fallacy people always make when talking about democracy is they always assume "demos" means everyone, when "demos" has and will always be only a small group at the top, while everyone else are their slaves. By extension, when America forces democracy on a country, the "demos" isn't the people of the country, the "demos" is still the same small group in America. Democracy literally means American elite rule.
At least late Qing huffed opium at gun point. Late America did it to themselves with fentynl.
Late Qing waste money on summer palace, but it did get built. Late America waste money on infrastructure and build nothing.
