I feel like all these articles exist for it to make the fascists laugh and the rest of us grit our teeth. You don’t stop mass murderers by wagging a finger at them. I know why China doesn’t do more. I know why they can’t do more, and I accept that, but damn do these kinds of articles just rub salt in the wound. I’d rather them send what little aid they can and bite their tongue, because shit like this is no different to me than when someone says " Thoughts and prayers. "
At least China is now cutting the US off from rare earths, which will have a big impact on military production. The US also can’t produce TNT anymore, and neither can most western countries. So, there might actually be physical limits to the amount of aggression the empire is capable of inflicting on the world.

Again, I know why, but god damn do I hate it.
