Do… you think trust and morals are disconnected? Did those things I wrote make you trust China? Do you trust China more than the US based on those things?

Countries can be repugnant in different ways, but the trust in their word is completely orthogonal.

Can a country trust a trade deal with the US? Whereas when has China ever not honoured a trade deal?

The US is quite literally famous for always honoring its debts. It’s genuinely shocking Americans that Trump is being aggressive in telling them they need to honor their agreements on NATO spending.

China also creates incredibly bad deals meant to use debt to capture nations. The US traditionally is not this aggressive.

But let’s answer your question directly, Mr. “Politically aware”

1. The US-China trade deal, where China agreed to purchase $200 Billion in goods. (Inb4 we explain away how breaking this one is justified and therefore doesn’t count) 2. China randomly placed a shitload of tariffs on Australia because they’re friends with the US. They admitted this was a really foolish choice and walked it back in the following years. 3. China blocked Lithuanian imports because they had a Taiwanese office 4. China gets their ass kicked in the WTO regularly (as do many countries) for reneging on trade deals.

So, Mr. Very Politically Aware, what’s the next goalpost?
