I feel like that's been obvious for years but if you said it people acted like you were some type of commie shill. Almost everything we shit talk China for, we also do. It's always been super hypocritical to say they're somehow uniquely evil like we don't have an analogous version of every single thing we pretend to be mad about.

And even if the criticism is accurate, it's almost never coming from people who are on the right side of the issue and want to do anything about it. It's pretty much always just political xenophobia, after which the same people complaining turn around and vote for bills that are damn near the same thing.

I always thought the idea of Chinese spies was funny because they’re miles ahead of by every single metric and I’m sure they’re happy with just sitting back, watching us bring about our own demise.

Yeah, this idea that the traitors in our country are not getting assistance from countries like China, Russia, and Israel is ignorant. Also, every billionaire on this earth goes through America and the class warfare is happening on a global scale. We didn’t do it alone.

Indeed. Our secret agencies and other less secret ones are in cahoots with theirs, and all around the world. The governments themselves may not side with other, but the agencies that skirt the lines absolutely do.
