I m in China and while I understand where you're coming from, from my point of view, you insisting on showing an american flag on the moon is a bit what we're saying about shadow colonialism.

You only ever like or accept vassal and submissive partners. It's still hard for us, but maybe we'll give up our pride for the american money, like so many others :)

This ofc doesnt excuse the communist crimes and lack of trust in us, the population, a problem totally independent from our conflict with the US, whatever excuse the US found at the spur of the moment.
