Isn't this... A huge break from traditional Chinese foreign policy?

Calling for the sovereignty of a de facto independent state? I don't see how this statement could be made unless a huge leap has been made in cross-Strait relations with Taiwan. Maybe Lai's statement on the DPP not pursuing de jure independence was enough, which is significantly different from Tsai's posturing.

Only if you believe everything you see on TV.

The rise of China might actually bring peace to the middle east. The Chinese for starters aren't Christian zealots who believe in Genesis 12:3 literally like the US.

I agree. They also hate Muslims and turn them into slaves! Maybe they can bring the world to a state absent of religious conflict.

This isn’t true. Do you think the OIC is afraid of China but not the US or Israel? Why?

You must have missed when China brokered peace between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Something the US was opposed to.

Westerners projecting their dreams and desires is always so cringe.

The Americans who actually decide foreign policy don't care about religion. That's just a smokescreen they use to make their dumb population happy.

The thumbnail looks like he wrote something funny on his hand and is showing his friend.
