  7.  @truongphuc93  I don't think you do. And that's why Ho Chi Minh spoke of not being angry with the soldiers or the citizens but instead the government. Also while you have seen enough Syria, Afghanistan, Libia, and Syria, you seem to miss Japan, Western Europe, Canada, even Mexico and Brazil. Saying the US isn't great isn't exactly controversial. But just because the US had that massacre, doesn't mean you get to forget the Đắk Sơn Massacre. Though I'll admit that in Vietnam it was likely the worst conduct of the US military that has ever been undertaken and why it is such a black mark on our history that we the US regret. People do very bad things and to attribute that to democracy is very naive. Which is what I believe you seem to be. That is more the issues of war and humanity. Actions like these can be found across history no matter the government or people. Communism and fascism (neither of which very democratic in those implementations) had so many war crimes on the eastern front it makes Vietnam look like a clean war in comparison. . Btw I apologize for the assumption of you being Chinese. Last time I talked to one from inside the country he spoke very similar to yourself about China (I probably should've assumed you weren't since you had access to YouTube though I know they all use VPNs). Saying that people commit atrocities is not controversial. And I hope you remember that everything you mentioned in the middle east had a lead-up to it. Unrelated but at least you understand you don't have democracy. The Chinese idiot thought he did with one party rule and a dictator and then attempted to say Japan was (although it kind of is it's actually because the people just kind of don't care enough to end it and is more a coalition anyway). Overall I hope you simply understand that thinking democracy is the problem or that it is simply jealously and western snakes that is the reason China's government is hated is fairly unfounded.

  8.  @truongphuc93  Oh now this is ignorance. You're correct that it is just cost. But we want those factories back. In fact in the US there is a very strong movement to bring back factories to the US from China though I do not expect you to know internal US politics. And the reason people bitch about rights is that we like having rights and like giving it to others. Also while we did abuse the Chinese from the start we also abused ourselves first. That's why Karl Marx exists. Also did you not notice that China is also now attempting to outsource them to Africa? Seeing China be a worse version of the worst version of the US is fairly amusing. I think the US is the only developed aside from maybe Germany that is attempting to open more factories instead of less. I'm sure many people in the west would agree with you that it's a bad thing that cost put them to have factories in China instead of their own countries. Also on top of that China had the choice to improve human rights for their citizens. They chose to worsen them for different parts of the population which the west moved away from. Worsening human rights is not necessary for cheap labor. At the very least you keep them where they are. Things like better pay or better restrictions on work are not rights. And that's not why we bitch. Just you know... don't kill your political opposition and don't harvest people's organs. That's like the bare minimum. Rights are freedom. We like being free. Which is why the US bitches about it more than the rest of the West.

  11.  @truongphuc93  Huh? Cold blooded? How? Btw my grandparents and that entire generation of my family had nothing to do with Vietnam and were barely citizens. Yes millions of refugees because of wars, but you want to say the US started them and not the group that went and attacked us? Btw we didn't go to war with those countries. We went to war with the groups who did it. Those groups who were very much using the citizens as hostages and destroying their homes too. You're leveling baseless accusations under the idea that no group could possibly want the US anywhere and it's just inaccurate. Also how am I playing victim? What have I done to suggest that we simply suffered and we're hurt always from everyone? My points have been that you accused us of committing war crimes and I mentioned so did everyone else. However I apologize for not making it more clear that it doesn't make it okay as my overall point was that it wasn't just a US, democracy, or western thing. And how are we provoking people to hate by calling out the wrongs of others? "China you shouldn't kill your own citizens and harvest their organs!" "Hey Russia you shouldn't starve out a portion of your population just because they don't like you!" (look up the Holodomor). They also both killed millions of their own people. You want to paint the US in this evil light. Yeah no in comparison we're certainly better than a fair few. However that doesn't mean we don't do terrible things or haven't done terrible things and those things need to be stopped and made up for. They're not okay. I think that's fair. But I don't think it's fair to say we have only ever done bad things anywhere and everywhere.
