Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Honestly, fuck 'em both.
Come to think of it, the Trump circus has taken a lot of attention away from China, hasn't it?
Also, Xi making Trump cave on tariff negotiations definitely helped his image.
Away from China's what? China being basically an information blackhole and their foreign policy not being very flashy means there's usually little to pay attention to in the first place.
China's foreign policy is basically "play whatever side makes the most sense for China".
Their pattern of behavior shows an end goal of economically dominating the planet. Fully replacing the United States and Europe.

China is also obviously looking at ways to create a military that can compete against the U.S./NATO dominance. They need some teeth to back up their economic pushes.
Well, the non-flashy policy rarely makes any friends. Everyone in the region hates them, except North Korea, which is run by people who might actually spend more time in China. And when it comes to Taiwan I'd say it is flashy.
I mean most of their immediate neighbors do hate them for the most part (Pakistan being a notable exception), and other than Russia and North Korea don't really have allies, but they do have cordial relationships with quite a few countries. More importantly though, their non-flashy foreign policy also doesn't make enemies. America's escapades in the Middle East and South America have earned them worldwide scathing hatred China could never match.
And when it comes to Taiwan I'd say it is flashy.
There's certainly a lot of saber rattling, but with very little action to back it up.
Nah. Fuck that slave labour using shithole, and China too.
No no no....see they're called criminals. Unlike slaves, they actually let them go sometimes.....only for them to end up back there because they can't get a job due to being a criminal.
And american businesses who make their products on those factories
You see their solar farm? We're about to be left in the dust
Global views
In its latest survey of 24 countries,
Holy Eurocentrism batman.
The list of countries that were surveyed is basically just the list of countries that the average American could possibly name. In other words, most of them are historically aligned with the west.
I would be very interested in a complete survey. I suspect China would fare even better.
Not only would China fare even better, I suspect that it'd be much harder to say that America's reputation is falling apart, because it'd be clear that most (or at least a good chunk) of the world hates America no matter who is in charge. I find it weird that articles like these try to paint a global narrative using data only from countries that were favored by past admins, and which would therefore be most likely to negatively react to Trump's isolationist agenda.
It certainly casts light on the pro-capitalist Western bias that permeates "impartial" organizations like Pew or AP Press.
Ah yes, Indonesia, a country America famously knows about.
It is obvious that China is using the Trump shenanigans to make themselves look good. China is now on the higher moral ground, as unbelievable as it sounds.
