“Our economy is in the shitter due to our terrible mismanagement. What should we do about this?”
“How about we piss off China, one of our largest trading partners?”
“Nigel Bitterswax Chudley the fourth esquire, that is a truly brilliant idea!”
UK politics makes more sense when you consider supply/demand neo-liberal economics.
Everything must get worse to maximize the rate of profit.
I think they just honestly don’t realise that the British empire is long gone and they are an American vassal now.
Dont ever think the leaders dont know what they are doing, they be knowing.
what the fuck is up with imperialist Westerners taking stances against China, then going on diplomatic visits there.
“hello yes, I stand in opposition to your sovereignty and your authority in the international sphere. Pls be friendly wif me uwu” shut the fuck up
I think they’re provoking a response so they can “prove” the aggressiveness of authoritarian China or whatever. Then they can publish spicy headlines to sway public opinion
I feel like it’s that last one. If they don’t make an anti-China gesture, people might think they are evil authoritarian supporter.
Remember, diplomacy is now only talking to people who agree with you 100% on everything. Otherwise you are expected to walk out of any meetings they have been invited to. My nephew would be a better diplomat than most of these assholes.
bimonthly reminder that not even the government on Taiwan considers Taiwan to be an “independent country”
Hope that China will deny this visit and impose sanctions on UK. As far as I know they sanctioned Lithuania for Taiwan bullshit
roc is as valid as south vietnam.
