They are both horrible war crimes and should be treated as such.

People understand the importance of the Malacca straight, Taiwan, and the various islands in that region. It's the same reason Japan rapidly expanded into that region during WW2, bringing unimaginable suffering to the people in that region.

Maybe you aren't making this point, and sorry if you aren't, but that strategic interest does not give China the right to illegally sieze territory to suit itself. That is imperaliam. That is what Russia is doing in Ukraine and it is absolutely wrong.

Why does China not try to make allies in the region

You tell me, was it people suing companies or companies suing people?

Is a company claiming it should be able to have free access to content or a person?

What are you talking about? Religion is huge in prisons

Anyone who has experienced the horrors of the USSR or Russia knows appeasing them or sympathetic to nonsense like "why they invaded" as if their reason was anything beyond narcissistic theft, murder, and imperialism is either ignorant or malicious.

Please look into Soviet history, its involvement in genocide, its displacement of people, its alignment with the Nazis at the beginning of WW2, its subjevation and murder of millions of central and Eastern European countries. Normal decent people do not defend Russia.

Chinese people do compete for basic necessities though; stores aren't passing out goods for free and rent/mortgages are very real.

Is there something you are familiar with that they don't have to pay for? I suppose health care and public education, but that's not particularly unique to China.

Guess you're pretty pissed about China colonizing the South China sea, Tibet, and other territories.

They are extremely sturdy and safe, but they are too large and unwieldy. Infinitely better than the schuko plug though. No idea what kind of insane people thought a circular plug that has to be plugged in one direction a good idea. Always fun to spin around your plug hoping your prongs are lined up.

Russia deserves the same fate. That country does not deserve a single gram of comfort while they murder and steal.

_Everyone? _

Seems like there is one clear instigator in that region

Happens often in Europe too
