Remember, criticizing Israel is always anti-Semitic - but criticizing China is never Sinophobic.
Hating the Israeli government is the same as hating Jewish people - but hating the Chinese government is never the same as hating Chinese people.

India was a "natural ally" as long as it did what the US wanted. But the minute the regime doesn't get what it wants, it is monitoring a "rise" in human rights abuses in India.

The Economist is indistinguishable from 18th century European orientalists
Xi is the "Emperor", Putin is the "Tsar" and Erdogan is like an Ottoman sultan
Ofc these propagandists will cut their balls off before referring to the British PM or French President using similar tropes
President Erdogan sits in a vast palace snapping orders at courtiers too frightened to tell him when he is wrong. His increasingly eccentric beliefs swiftly become public policy. But voters, especially in cities, are pushing back
