    Despite the fact that China is one of the world’s most effective democracies – this label from Biden is bad for international relations and peace. The Cold War is in full effect, and it heating up to armed conflict is seeming more likely over the next decade.

      That’s just fear mongering.

      Also when did china become a democracy, yesterday ? China has never been a democracy.

        Insulting the leader of another country and saying this can hurt diplomacy is fear mongering?

          It’s not an insult it’s reality.

          Your fear mongering is this:

          The Cold War is in full effect, and it heating up to armed conflict is seeming more likely over the next decade.

      What. The. Fuck?!?!?!

      How is a 1 party regime where the current ruler has already broken his term limit to illegally keep power indefinitely, and the party in power decides who is allowed to run, a democracy?

      Oh wait, this is just changing words so war is peace, freedom is slavery again.
