I have nothing but respect for the people of China, not so much for their government.

The example set by my own nation and the west, is frankly appalling, if we are to speak with authority about others shouldn’t we first put our own house in order.

No. It is OK to criticize more than one government and to a more or lesser degree.

I didn’t say it wasn’t OK to speak about other nations or issues, but it’s the hypocrisy that’s as appalling as the West’s actions, this more so applies to our governments and MSM.

Speaking with authority is different to speaking duplicitously.

You said “ shouldn’t we first put our own house in order”.

No, I do not think that is a prerequisite for “speaking with authority” about another government.

If you’re fine with people who tell lies

No, I am not.

Good to hear that, the hard part though is putting in the sometimes hard work to discern the truth or most probable truth, then the probable motive for the false information, which is sometimes nefarious but not always.

The Telegraph has quite a political bent, but I’ve heard many claims that nuclear fusion is only a decade away many times over many decades the latest fairly recently, but yet don’t reach unity gain when factoring in the manufacturing of the pellets used in the process.

Thank you.

Former Secretary of State Blinken stated China is carrying out a genocide, yet when one is clear for all to witness he refused to call it out, the hypocrisy is astounding.

When VP Vance calls out suppression of speech he fails to call out the suppression of speech within the USA education system, again the hypocrisy is astounding.

Two sides of the same old coin, that coin being the system. New players same scriptwriters.
