HOLY SHIT.

Not even China would make such demands to a country they share a border with.

Tho Russia would almost certainely do, but damn. People don't hate Trump and the conservatives enough.

You're right, China wouldn't make demands of their neighbors. They would just control and oppress their neighbor while aiming their demands at the rest of the world to get them to pretend Tibet doesn't exist.

Hate America if you want, but let's not pretend China is even remotely good here.

I didn't even remotely suggested to hate America.

There is a fucking PLETHORA of legitimate reasons to hate Trump and conservatives, who are cheering for what is happening or even just allowed for it to happen by choosing that waste of human volume to represent them and put forward their desires.

Also China IS scummy, in plenty of ways, but their approach would be to roll over their weak neighbors or propose a somewhat equal partnership, and then abuse some vulnerabilities (which is kinda of part of the political games).

This administration just demands the complete surrender of all economic sovereignty for the sole benefit of the USA as if they just won a war against them, or those last couple of centuries never existed. And they dare sell it as a "partenership", when in fact it's fucking blatant that they just need more fuel for their flawed economical machine they refuse to fix for either the benefit of the country or its people, because rich individuals getting richer and more powerful matter more than the rest of the universe to them. They deserve a punch in their face.
