Kirk Apesland, the Canadian creator behind YouTube channel Gweilo60, is sparking global conversations with his viral take on Western politicians’ criticism of China. 🌏 In a recent video viewed by millions, Apesland argues that some leaders are using China as a ‘convenient scapegoat’ to distract from their own policy failures—calling it a ‘blame game’ that ‘hurts everyone’.
💡 Why it matters: Apesland, who shares his life experiences in China, highlights how finger-pointing overshadows real issues like economic recovery and climate collaboration. ‘It’s like binge-watching a bad TV drama where everyone’s the villain except the writers,’ he quips. 🎬 His perspective resonates with younger audiences tired of polarized narratives.
🌐 Global reactions: Comments flood in from students in Nairobi, entrepreneurs in Jakarta, and Asian diaspora communities, many praising his call for ‘less geopolitics, more solutions.’ But critics argue his views oversimplify complex tensions. Where do you stand? 🤔
