Awful dictatorship supporting another awful dictatorship, shocker.
China big mad because they know Taiwan would get as much or even more help from the west than Ukraine is getting. The CCP knows its on its last leg, I hope the Chinese citizens do Xi like the Italians did Mussolini.

In some ways you could say Tibet is China's Ukraine.

They have plenty of land, people and resources.
They do it for the same reason Putin does it, because they can.
And want to be in control of everyone.
ETA: Like the GOP is doing in the US. Get as much control as possible.

(1,256 posts)Oh that's right, Russia. Both Russia and China are mad that other states won't bow to them. Now in regards to Russia, here's a thought. Perhaps Russia should be careful about what they wish for with China. Now this is not likely and it is more a hypothetical scenario. What if China sees Russia as weak and decides, "Okay, we'll invade Russia and take Russian territory"? I mean, Russia is having a difficult time in Ukraine, and they are so stretched out over land that I don't think they can cover all that territory. What does China know about Ukraine other than what Russia tells them? No one can believe anything China says except those influenced by Russian propaganda, and yes, that includes other countries like India, who doesn't like China, but their government and a lot of, if not most of their media tend to be pro-Russia. Like Ukraine, Taiwan has made it clear they do not want to be in an authoritarian government.

If you consider that means the victor completely defeats the loser, that would mean Ukraine controlling Russia. Yet, that is not the goal of Ukraine or NATO. Ukraine's stated goal is achieving control of all of Ukraine including Crimea.
I would assume that China is saying Ukraine should not get that. Russia should be given part of Ukraine. The problem is this means that against a powerful neighbor, sovereignty means nothing.

When authoritarians control all the levers, they do things like crush Uyghurs and Hong Kong. They do things like control the population with Social Credit Scoring.
