do you care about covid? the problem is china. do you care about human rights? the problem is china. do you care about global warming? the problem is china. why are we not talking about china?

Probably a rhetorical q. but because: 1. solving problems at the domestic level in under your control 2. foreign policy is hard
not rhetorical, actually can't figure it out. i'm torn between thinking it's because nobody believes america is powerful enough to do anything about china and nobody who says they care about things like covid, human rights, or global warming actually cares about those things.

Definitely not the latter. Why so cynical? Re former, has that ever stopped America from doing what it wants? :) Rn what it "wants", seems like using non-combative ways to counter china untill the point shit hits the fan. Hasn't shit hit the fan already? America's call

Let’s reformulate
@micsolana second point as: most people concerned by those are caught up in group narratives based on emotions and don’t analyse coldly & rationally what the heart of the issue is. Would overall agree with that. Twitter is lossy compression of thoughts, etc

Almost a bingo. I think it's not exactly about raw power, but about short term losses for business and politicians, plus the bottom line: There's fuck all to be done about nukes.

it's mostly that last thing. Ultima ratio regum.

If you're wealthy enough to have a major platform, like, hypothetically, being the head coach of an NBA franchise, China has made it clear they will fuck up your access to their market if you say anything negative, and even if you're willing to do it, the shareholders aren't.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
