    America doesn't have a government. It's a continent. Are you possibly referring to the USA?

    In North America they teach that North America and South America are 2 separate continents.

    When someone refers to "America" in the contexts of countries they 9 times out of 10 mean the US. Since people from there usually call themselves "Americans" rather than "United statians"

    China had a long history of fraudulent science that they need to dig out of to gain a good reputation.

    Nothing like the very highly reliable pharmaceutical "science" done in the US, amirite?

    Its not like we ever had "science" come from the US that said an extremely powerful opioid wasn't addictive, amirite?

    Oh, good old ITER. There where news from records from China, anyone know if this is related to ITER-project somehow and is it multinational project?

    edit. probably this: https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/nuclear-energy/chinas-artificial-sun-shatters-nuclear-fusion-record-by-generating-steady-loop-of-plasma-for-1-000-seconds

    Yup it is related to ITER -project, so this is a nice thing going on in international scene apparently

    SUM: it is so

    I don't think that word means what you think it means...

    You don't think uncritical and nationalistic dismissal of the "enemy's" achievements as they must be both strong and weak has a place under "aggressive or exaggerated patriotism?"

    I guess that just makes them a racist then.

    As far as I can tell by their comment history they are American, so I don't know how is trusting France to be "nationalistic". Or "patriotic". Or aggressive, for that matter. Not a hint of militarisitc feeling either.

    I might be racist too, because I don't trust what comes out of China as much as what comes from France. Or Germany. Or Switzerland. Or Japan. Or south Korea. Or Australia. Or India. Or Kenya. Yes, it must be racism.

    First of all, leave the goalpost where it was and re-read the definition of the word. Nowhere it mentions allies, friends, or the wife of your cousin's neighbor. So on that you were dead wrong.

    Second, if one trusts Japan or South Korea but not China... You say it's because of racism. There is no aaaany other reason. Not at all? Really?

    I love the little downvotes, I hope they help with your frustration. Keep them up!
