While China saying even one word about human rights is fucking hilarious, one can't help noticing that they've been emboldened by the presumably "weak" new US president, and doing what they for some reason dared not do, at least not so boldly, while his orange-headed predecessor was in office:

China accuses US of being 'deeply hypocritical' on human rights record

South China Sea: alarm in Philippines as 200 Chinese vessels gather at disputed reef

Also, Russia has reportedly sent tanks into Ukraine now:

Claiming they were "invited" there by the ethnic Russian majority, who felt threatened by Kyiv's "recent escalation" (apparently, what the Russians call "Nuland's fascist clique" in Kyiv have felt emboldened lately, and conspiracy theories abound about them having been offered something by Biden to undermine the fragile Minsk accords ceasefire.

You know, propaganda. The moment what his detractors call Stumbling Joe got in, America's foes instantly resumed their shenanigans.

China saying anything at all in response to criticism from another country is the real surprise here... Usually they’re content to just steamroll ahead with their affairs and smooth their wake with money and sweat taxed up from the masses...

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
