    That’s a fair point, they could be worse than they have been lately. They are there for their abysmal human rights record, their refusal to recognize basic rights, their annexation of nearby peaceful countries, treatment of dissidents, sectarian violence, their threats and reckless behavior in the South China Sea, corrupt trade practices, exploitation of desperate nations, total lack of transparency or democratic accountability, and for directly supporting the other shithole authoritarian states on my list that who are fantasizing about a China or Russia dominated new world order. Nothing against the people of China and I don’t claim the US and the West has been perfect beacons of freedom and human rights but we try and sometimes we come close. China never comes close.
