China said the United States is the “biggest disruptor of regional peace and stability” in the world in a scathing response Wednesday to a Pentagon report on China’s growing military buildup.
The annual report that is required by Congress is one way the Pentagon measures the military capabilities of China, which the U.S. government sees as its key threat in the Asia-Pacific region and America’s primary long-term security challenge.
The statement China’s Ministry of Defense issued in response called the Pentagon report’s findings false and used it in turn to hit back at the U.S.’ recent actions in helping Israel and Ukraine, as well as its buildup of military installations worldwide.
Dictatorships aren’t stable. Literally a lot of the destabilisation the US does is destroying elected left wing governments and replacing them with right wing autocrats.
And the difference is enormous, it’s not marginal. It’s not even close. Your analogy isn’t good.
And sure, every genocide is an atrocity, but the US hasn’t just done genocides, they’ve spread them. They’ve educated foreign groups in how to perpetrate their own genocides.
China isn’t better, they have simply had less power to implement their power plays, and that’s down to historical accident. It’s just the US’s history of this crap is so much more extensive that China isn’t wrong to point it out. That’s all I’m saying.
