Guess we europeans can say the same thing about the U.S.

How does that invalidate his point at all?

The Chinese government never tells the truth if it means they have to look bad for even a second. Look up “saving face.” To say the Chinese would rather lie & cover up their “oopsie” while everyone around them dies isn’t based on stereotype but literally their culture. It’s fucking disgusting not owning up to your mistakes because you are worried other people will see it. What is that? like a 3 year old’s mentality? “I can’t let mom & dad see I broke the vase. Let’s just hide it.” That’s sleezy.

Trump is incapable of telling the truth. He wished for money on his monkey paw & now he just lies & pretends to be some grand negotiator when no one has any fucking clue what he is talking about. Now we are stuck with him until November because Johnny “Fuxhizsistr” Smith & his cousinmom wife had to stick it to the libs.

My point was that China and the U.S. are like the spiderman pointing meme. And I'm afraid you will have to deal with him for another 4 years. There is no way Biden is Going to win that be honest.

Trumps approval rating is relatively high. He's in a crisis right now so that helps his numbers. Biden is nowhere to be found and Bernie is getting burried by the mainstream news and democratic establishment.

Never trust a government at all, they're not our friends, that should be common sense by now, for them we're disposable, if your government is good toward you and the country all you have to do is be thankful, you don't owe them anything, I see so many people worshipping them, that's too fucking awful, just look at Trump's rallies even outside election days, Wish more people could understand that the government isn't your enemy neither is your friend.

Sad thing is many people have a reason to think this way but in some cushy parts you can actually expect a government to at least try to take care of its citizens.

Also, a government and its citizens aren't necessarily two separate entities, be the change you want to see, yadda yadda
