That’s because China is at least consistent with their evil (and final warnings etc), the US is unreliable or capricious: that’s a bigger threat.

What evil? Use sources.

HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca on 10 Jun 00:12 next collapse

Ask Canada… no doubt the same.

China is sly and utilitarian. The US is stupid and evil. Both are dangerous as opponents, one is obviously more dangerous than the other.

Edit: It occurs to me now that (some) people are thinking I’m calling China the bigger threat…so I guess I’ll spell it out. The United States is a bigger threat than China.

Last I checked, China isn’t threatening to make Canada their 51st state.

Not with that spirit comrade. Let’s get to it. Anyone have Xi on speed dial?

Your mom does. Because he’s fucking your mom.

China hasn’t dropped a bomb in 50 years. Grow up.

The Nazis more of a threat? Say it ain’t so… ;)

It’s not like Xi isn’t also a Nazi, but he’s predictable where Orange Man is not.

It's not just New Zealand. The Democracy Perception Index just came out for 2026 and the US is seen as the largest threat worldwide, a very significant swing from last year. I just watched a Mallen Baker video on the subject.

Have this rude individual previously tagged as “pro CCP”. No surprise the tankie substitutes ad hominems when they have nothing else lol.

Easy to be pro China when the west is actively funding genocide and barreling toward fascism lmao.

Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Ukrainians (as China funnels weapons to genocidal Russia) would like a word 😘

Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml on 10 Jun 22:27 collapse

Any recognized international human rights organizations agree with you about the uyghurs? What does the United Nations say? You know what the monks in Tibet were doing with their kids? Is there a genocide in Ukraine? That would be news to me! Would love some sources on all of this big news!

No shit? This has been true forever.

Really? You mean the nuclear armed globe spanning Isramerican pedophilic empire thrashing about in the it’s final genocidal deathgasms? Just ignore it. It’s harmless.

You know what’s really dangerous? Cheap solar panels.

Of course the US is an bigger threat - they’re the ones fucking everyone up the ass right now at this present moment.

New Zealand is the problem. Let’s take over New Zealand.

US doing whatever the fuck right now is a massive PR win for China.
