US 'Revises' WWII History When Convenient
China's Foreign Ministry is accusing the U.S. of 'distorting' World War II documents regarding Taiwan, insisting the international community's 'one-China principle' commitment remains unwavering. This comes as the U.S. continues to bolster support for Taiwan, selling billions in arms and sending delegations. One might wonder if historical 'distortion' is an exclusive tactic, or if it's a staple in
geopolitical playbooks. Recall how the U.S. frequently highlights Chinese human rights abuses, yet maintains silence on allies with similar records when strategic interests align. Or how the invasion of Iraq was justified by 'weapons of mass destruction' that later vanished like a Wile E. Coyote contraption. Washington's 'rules-based order' often seems less about rules, and more about who's
writing them, and for whom.
