China - voice of reason

[littlebilliie]

So China has condemned the USA plan to annex Palestine - I am really confused.

China, quite rightly, is the voice of reason

Surely this can’t go ahead?!
I’m confused how American politics seems to work.
Is there no debating/discussion or voting through new policies? Or does the latest lunatic in charge just make it up as he goes along?

China is an authoritarian regime, its citizens don't have rights and it's currently carrying out ethnic cleansing. I'm not sure why they think anyone would listen to them on humanitarian matters.

Really

The system in the USA has various checks and balances. However, Trump is ignoring those. Several of the executive orders he has passed appear to be unlawful and at least one is unconstitutional. Congress and the courts have the power to stop him. However, the GOP has largely been consumed by Trump and his followers, and most of the current Supreme Court are on the right. It is therefore possible that the checks and balances won't work and Trump will be able to act as a dictator.

Judges are trying to stop him, but we'll see how that goes.

That could just as well describe the US. With the same conclusion.

I don't hold the US up as some kind of bastion of human rights. They have killed millions of people and funded genocides. Trump is rampaging through the constitution and bigging up ethnic cleansing.

However US citizens have human rights. They have a relatively functioning judicial system and political dissidents aren't disappeared.

To compare the US and China is ridiculous.
