  74.  @ameyapotdar461  There are no "fake NGOs" nor are they making "fake news" against China. All the NGOs that talk about China negatively existed for many years, and most "fake news" is just Chinese nationalists and their defenders screeching that anything they don't like is fake news. Much like Trumpists did, funny enough. It wasn't the US that alerted the world to China's issues with Xinjiang, or Tibet, or hiding Covid-19. Other trusted international organizations brought it up first, but China acts as if the US brought it out of thin air in order to obfuscate the fact that the US came late to the party. Much of the world is also suspicious of the US, so why you think the US has this kind of magical pull with the rest of the world is just weird. What, can nobody think for themselves and it's all just a giant conspiracy against China? You weird CCP defenders need to get a grip; the US is rarely even the first one to criticize China, and the US had mostly allowed China to build its military islands on the SCS without complaint until the Philippines went to the US about it. Don't like the US grilling China? Then stop harrassing US allies. "America is panicking" Where, exactly? And why? The world has been turning on China for years now, the new allies China hoped to make are turning to the US instead, and now China has Russia, which is also a global paraiah instead of most of East Asia, as intended. If anything, the US is doing great right now if we're talking about this hole China is digging itself into.

  109.  @Cryptospirosis  People also thought Russia invading Ukraine was teh stupidest thing they could do; yet they did it and now Russia is getting grinded down and losing tens of thousands of men for nothing. Leaders aren't always smart. That being said, no one in BRICS barring Russia and China is moving against the USD. Population size doesn't matter in contrast to the overall GDP/wealth of a bloc -and the West alone makes up some 40% of the world's economy. With the US' closest allies that rises to as high as 60%. Even if India aligned with China, it wouldn't matter in regards to USD dominance. The rest of the world's wealthiest countries which make up a larger share of the world economy would just take up their lost dollars and their economy would crash. Manufacturing and population means nothing compared to the currency needed to trade. You're living in the 20th century still, and it's hilarious. BRICS isn't an alliance or a union, it's a trade organization. It's like being proud of NAFTA, ASEAN, or APEC. Only desperate people unironically think that it's some kind of alliance. I just pity you; especially in thinking that India which so obviously is a rival for China would align with it for...what, exactly? China has goals in Kashmir, Pakistan, funded terrorists in India, bankrupted Sri Lanka nearby; outside of Indian love for Putin, everything in India is anti-China. China is alone in the world, and its all because of China's own imperialist actions. Keep whining about "de-dollarization" though, I'm sure it will happen some time this century. The USSR hoped for it too...and they had a bigger share of the world economy while actually aligned with India than China does today aligned with India(LOL).
