   Am used to being screamed at for having a non-Western view about the #USChinaTensions that I was bracing myself. Instead, I got intelligent & empathic replies from #Mastodon folks about this article. Thank you for staying open!
   I tell myself - keep it light & happy! Don't share contrary opinions! But I rebel & go, why should I? 😠 Mastodon needs diversity of thought anyway. 🤭
   I want the West & #China to cooperate rather than fight. I want peace. That's not bad, right?

     @liztai Thanks to this post, I learned about the term "white man's burden" 🤣 damn but that's accurate to how some Westerners think in god's year 2023. Even the supposed enlightened ones.

     FWIW, lots of Western democracies are anything but. It's a popularity contest that puts the most charismatic (and/or populist) person in power, regardless of their actual qualifications . Not to say that China's schtick is any better IMO (I'm a native of a former commie state, so seen both sides) but, yeah.

     @liztai brilliant thought, but China had choose the side of evil and supported Russia in the war against Ukraine. China blessed this war at the start . Want peace too. But right now I'm at this war and very good know the results of communist regime China and russia, results in existing states like North Korea etc . I see more peace frm Malaysia n Taiwan vs any sings of real peace frm China.
