You don't at all see how that implies moral superiority? Or are you just giving them the benefit of the doubt?

The problem is holding China to a higher standard than we hold ourselves to.

I mean I could see how you could get that but it's not how I read it. I read it as they are not humane enough to effectively collaborate with.

I mean, listen, America is a huge hypocrisy so I'm not saying people aren't doing that, I guess I just read it more literally.

It's a bad take either way, and that interpretation makes way less sense. The reason we don't collaborate with China is geopolitical, and has nothing to do with ethics or China being too inhumane to effectively collaborate with (whatever that means).

I mean, I'm aware of the actual reason, I've never argued that lol.
