China’s Xi Jinping and the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen were among the leaders on a private video call organized by the United Nations.

That’s rich coming from China. They have never supported or even participated in the rules based order. From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…
And yet, there’s nothing inaccurate in his statement.
The rules based order has always been a farce. Doesn’t excuse the evil shit they do, but let’s not pretend the West was respecting the rules it set up.
But the question is, is he wrong here?
Wrong in the sense that they have been doing everything they accuse the US of doing for decades.
That you can make such grossly hypocritical statements publicly means you aren’t serious about anything.
At this point you could literally be talking about the US with this sentence.
What do you mean? 'Murica doesn’t use anything uncouth as foreign police stations; they only have sparkling extradition treaties and Interpol! Don’t put The Leaders of the Free World™ with the barbaric Chinese!
/s obviously screw them both.
Our last standing differentiator was IP law, until we got weapons of mass IP destruction in the form of AI companies and LLMs.
And? Do you you think multiple countries can’t be major issues?
He’s pointing out that they’re the pot calling the kettle black
No, the pot and kettle can both be black, that’s the entire point of the expression.
Your statement is missing the point, then.
No it isn’t. You were trying to cast China in a harsher light for doing “for decades” most of the same things the US has been doing (also mostly for decades).
Everyone sucks in this situation.
