Congrats to Joe Biden and his administration. His first good move since becoming potus.

Sanctioning China.

U.S., allies announce sanctions on China over Uyghur ‘genocide’

Credit where credit is due.

Yes, even though this is nothing but window dressing and has no real teeth in it, I suppose it's a good thing that Beijing Biden is actually attempting to APPEAR like he respects U.S. sovereignty.

He should apply the same window dressing to the southern border.

You're spot-on about how appearances matter, even though in a perfect world there would be no need for these word games. Political leaders know full well they are playing this game and the prize is a favorable public opinion. Even China cares about that it seems which is a bit surprising to me...but admitedly I'm still learning.

China's growing firepower raises question: could U.S. defend Taiwan?

In war games, China often wins, and U.S. warships and aircraft are kept at bay.

The citizens suffer- not the gov't- geeze people wake the fuck up- starving people when your feelings are hurt is insane.

So you were against the sanctions in apartheid South Africa?

WTF are you attempting to do with a stupid question like that?

It's not a stupid question. I'm trying to see if you're consistent. A lot of people voice objections to sanctions but still make exceptions.
