You do realize that a phrase that may work one way in Britain, might not work the same way in any other country on the planet.
let just leave it at cultural differences in the same language.

You have no idea of the irony of that statement do you? Do you have any idea how many million Chinese died because their government cares more about their economy than their people?
You need to learn that people not liking the communist Chinese government doesn't mean we hate Chinese people. Once you rid yourself of the ignorance of that false equivalence, you might understand some things. You might wanna read a history book or two as well.

what makes you think that the U.S. doesn't have the ability to reach out and touch those new ships, or shoot down those new missiles already and aren't building and testing new ones now.
there has always been a greater number of Chinese soldiers than U.S. soliders. didn't help them the last time they got their butts whipped did it.
Korean War active combat troop count, U.S. 326,863, China 1,450,000 loses U.S. 36,574, China 183,108 if the CCP is to be believe cause everybody knows China doesn't give real numbers, not counting those MIA. that's almost 5 to one in both cases.
don't go counting on numbers being a end all.

Again! Stop with the putting words in my mouth. Bow am I defending China?
So you have turned this into "your government is more terrible than mine" argument! Well done!
June 5, 2000 - As the 50th anniversary of the start of the Korean War approaches, one key statistic is being reclarified— the one detailing just how many Americans were killed in the war. For years after the war ended in 1953, the Pentagon published a figure of 54,260. That combined the 33,643 "battle deaths" with 20,617 "other deaths." But in 1989 the Pentagon began revising the totals because "other deaths" included U.S. military deaths worldwide during the three years of the war, rather than just those soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who died in and around the Korean peninsula. In the 1994 version of its annual publication, Service and Casualties in Major Wars and Conflicts, the Pentagon put Korean War battle deaths at 33,652 and "other deaths" meaning deaths in the war zone from illness, accidents and other non-battle causes at 3,262. That yields a total of 36,914.
How Many Americans Died In Korea?
Is that not true in the case of China?
Yeah, my government is better than theirs. If you disagree, yeah you are defending them.
China's government is almost universally acknowledged as being one of the worst governments in its treatment of its people on this planet.
The only people that dispute that are China's lapdogs.
"Yeah but the U.S. isn't perfect" is what's a weak argument.
The only people that dispute that are China's lapdogs.
Your constant jerking off about "they're the oldest civilization!!!" is kind of a giveaway too.
Keep it up with the "China's not that bad
but I'm sooo not defending them! That would be the hole I was talking about.

Taiwan needs to develop its own nuclear weapons ASAP. If they can build up an arsenal of 100-200 nukes and cruise missiles or ballistic missiles to deliver them, China wouldn’t dare attack them.

Umm actually...the current government/civilization didnt exist in old CHina. its not the same place it once was.
And AGE does not dictate WISDOM.
China are known to be the oldest living civilization in tbe world. It's not a fact I made up in my own head, as it's wildly accepted.
Age does not dictate wisdom? So that means they would be suicidal and invade Taiwan? You really think they are that stupid?

Try re-reading my posts without your defenses up, maybe then you'll understand them. Your replies aren't even making sense to what I said.
But I know, it can't possibly be you. You're so smart, it has to be the other guy.

China’s about to get rolled and they know it. The days of their totalitarian state are numbered. Cover-19 won’t save them, it only delayed the inevitable revolution on their hands, in their mainland and Hong Kong. The world is waking up to their evil and this virus will be the straw that broke the camel’s back. They’re desperate !!
