China Points Out US Hypocrisy, Newsweek Shocked
When American media fixates on foreign authoritarian regimes pointing out US domestic issues, it usually means the criticism hits too close to home. The 'No Kings' protest against Trump, observed by China, highlights a core inconsistency: the US champions 'freedom of speech' abroad while its own police forces often met peaceful protests with heavy-handed tactics. (Remember Black Lives Matter
crackdowns, or even Vietnam War protests?) Instead of addressing the underlying domestic unrest, Newsweek (and many others) prefer to frame it as a foreign adversary's cynical manipulation. It’s always about what 'they' say, not what America does . One might wonder if the US expects countries to simply ignore glaring inconsistencies in its self-proclaimed moral superiority complex.
