This whole screenshot is basically one state’s propaganda machine vs. another.
Just because the Chinese propaganda machine is acting the straight man in this particular interaction, doesn’t mean they don’t have skeletons in their own closet
Yo very unrelated, but thank you for mentioning that phrase “skeletons in their own closet”! I’ve been listening to a song for a few months which uses that metaphor and I couldn’t exactly figure out what it meant (it’s in Greek and didnt expect that phrase to exist in english too). (This is the song if you care, lol.)

Germans have corpses in their basement.
I’ve seen that in English as well, as a more empathetic version of skeletons in the closet.
Yeah, while I agree with some of his jabs - it is immensely ironic that China is #1 in two of mentioned anti-US criticisms.
Go figure two assholes in a room and no one smells good
