    It’s cute when the US accuses countries of interfering with elections like they’re protecting their world record or something

      Oh shit. Such a edgy comment buddy. Now tell me, what elections does China has for the US to be meddling wih?

        They f****** over Pakistan’s elections just a few months ago, USA is the king of ruining functioning governments anywhere in the world.

        CIA straight up admitted they failed to gain an operational foothold in China like they did everywhere else which is why they never have a solid grasp on what China’s next move will be. Not to mention the CCP makes arrests like monthly on people they believe or accuse of having connections to the CIA.

        I think the point is that the US wanders the world (apart from China), election-meddling and influencing and coup-ing, and then all of a sudden when it happens to us it’s some kind of pearl clutching emergency and crime.

        To be clear, I don’t think we should be doing it to other countries, and I don’t think they should be doing it to us. And I think the prospect of another Trump presidency would be so catastrophic for people the world over that it’s worth resisting election interference on his behalf, even if you have no particular love for the US and its little adventures on the global stage. But certainly the US State Department getting upset that someone’s influencing our democracy, even though we don’t want them to, can be met with a certain amount of pure derisive laughter.

      Yeah, every nation does. I don’t see your point. Is it not bad? Your comment seems to try to direct anger away from China, but also seems to imply it’s bad the US does it. It’s bad though, right? You aren’t just making this comment to misdirect, right?
