China comes to the Middle East with a briefcase full of money, whereas the US comes with bombs and missles...which will you pick?

China has a good relationship with Arab countries in history. It can only be said that China has returned to the center of the world stage.

When Americans talk about Justice, human rights, democracy etc, I just go into shock

[davidlee]

China will respect your civilization and values, seek win-win cooperation, and won't impose their social and political ideology on you. Just contrast this to how the U.S. operates.

Weaponization of USD is very real. Ask the Cubans. Sanctions are also very real esp if u deal with the plutocrats. Who give the US the right to sanctions people?

Imagine there are two people. One is viewed by the other people as a trouble maker, liar and a big bully. The other person is viewed as friendly, honest and helpful. Who do you think the other people would want as a friend? As simple as that.

It’s cooperating and diplomatic.

[rosetzu_nagasawa]
