I don't know about humanity but she seems to be like...how I put it...kind of retarded to be honest. A very ignorant woman with zero understanding of the needs of the people with even lower IQ that for some reason vote for her. So the China bashing fantasy is the only thing she have, because is quite popular in Fox News I guess. What else she have? Improve the well being of the people who vote for her? Are you crazy man. That is what Communist will do. Building more datacenters in the state national parks is the way to go.

I don't believe all this stuff out of Europe about how its relationship with the US is over or has drastically changed. Wait until a Democrat is in the White House and watch them fluff the US once again. The environment situation is a prime example. When George W was in office, Europe was hounding him on the environment. He actually got an international UN agreement done in Kyoto but it all fell apart because the US Congress didn't ratify it and the US and Bush was blamed for its failure. They were using those excuses of how China and India weren't going to sacrifice so why should the US? Then Obama ran claiming he was going to be the "Green President" and get done what Bush failed to do. But when he found out that the US wasn't going to make all the money because he believe everyone was going to have to buy American technology to meet international rules and instead China was, he prevented any such international agreement from happening because he didn't want China to win. Not one word from Europe on the environment for as long as Obama was President. Nothing was done in the halls of Western power about the environment when Obama was in office.

Remember how the US was accusing China of hoarding all the oil that was being denied to the world because the US started the war with Iran who closed off the Strait of Hormuz…?
Xi could do the funniest thing and start buying up all the crude right before the midterms.

Westerners should just shut up. Chinese policymakers won't waste their time to listen to their "advises"
I'm deeply worried about Gordy. He seems to have lost it completely.

Actually the good olde USA was not necessarily a democracy by pure definition until after 1965. Its founding father deliberately wrote the Constitution in a way that guarded against democracy (meaning majouritarianism here). It was an elitist republic where the elites enjoyed pluralistic democracy among themselves through delegated representatives, whilst guarding against an alleged “tyranny of majourity” demanding more racial, gender, wealth and class equality and equity. It has become much more “democratic” after 1965 with the passages of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. Nonetheless, the continued existence and functioning of the electoral college, Senate filibustering, and other institutional roadblocks meant to preserve the power of the privileged minority against majouritarianism mean that the good olde USA is not necessarily a democracy but a constitutional republic.
Having said that, when folks talk (especially Chinese liberals) about democracy, they really need to distinguish between the concepts of “democracy”, “freedom” and “republic”. Democracy does not equate freedom, and the two terms are more often at odds against one another. Unfortunately, most Chinese liberals often have ill-informed wet dreams about democratisation without even able to distinguish the key difference between the three terms.
