      I hadn’t heard this. That’s 66%. Incredibly sad, but very moving.

      Yeah, brought me to tears. I think around that time Cuba was also sending out their doctors and they were talking about how it was their revolutionary duty. Also back then, health workers in the US were left with trash bags while both Cuba and PRC celebrated their doctors. Just the contrast alone should shatter anyone’s illusions about the US.

    “An advocate” for China.

    Why the word “advocate?” I mean, yeesh, why not call American jingoists “advocates for America.”

    Sorry, it’s just that the language used here in the first sentence is already a red flag. That, and honestly: it’s the online rag Foreign Policy. I’m afraid that I’ll just end up hate-reading it…

      Considering the history of liberalism, it’s pretty bold for them to come forward and accept the limitations of their own ideology. You know liberals.
