Both sides same, except to 14 million of the global south
Who keeps overthrowing the governments in the Global South and funding proxy wars there which results in people requiring that aid?
Now crunch the numbers but tally the death toll of every coup USAID helps get going, every land and agricultural reform that doesn't get off the ground because USAID threatens to pull out, all the deaths from having to obey asinine IP laws with regards to medicine that is priced to gouge US patients, let alone global south ones (again with USAID threatening to pull out)
While the US empire is crumbling, China has the Global South covered.
