"Competitor? Adversary? Enemy?"

@SusanPage posed that question about 🇨🇳's relationship with 🇺🇸 during #VicePresidentialDebate.

Are such distinctions useful and do any of the terms accurately describe 🇺🇸-🇨🇳 relations?

Let's break it down.

[THREAD]
To start, notice what were NOT options given by Page:

"friends, partners, allies"

(though Page did acknowledge that 🇨🇳 could be a "potential partner" for addressing 🇰🇵 and climate change)

So we're starting with the presumption of a "confrontational" relationship.
From the standpoint of foreign policy discourse, there can be value in saying that someone is a "competitor" (competition is "healthy") rather than an "enemy" (who is "evil"). @EdwardGoldberg makes this distinction in a piece for @Salon

Harris Lie # 1

Biden will eliminate #Trump Tax Cut.

Harris said no.
Biden said yes.

Tax cuts are not for the big corporates only. My family owns a small business and it definitely helped us.

Harris Lie #3

Trump didn’t denounce the KKK & White Supremacy. He called them “Fine people” & “He told them to stand down”.

POTUS #Trump disavowed both groups numerous times.

He told the #ProudBoys to stand down. PB are multiracial.

I’ll be live-tweeting the debates tonight. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to watch, but in case you don’t have the stamina, I’ve got your back. 🥰

I’ve never live-tweeted anything before, and I’ve never made a Twitter thread. What could possibly go wrong? 😆

Just practicing adding one tweet to another.

So far, so good.
Look at me go!

The debates don’t start for another hour and forty minutes, and I haven’t even made my first typo yet.

Phew, chile! Let’s get this party started.
