The picture drawers can draw something else, memes are by the people, for the people
Meh, I don't mind AI if it's used to make memes.
I'm confused, where are you getting the certainty it's AI? I tried a reverse image search and all I can find is a variation of it on imgur that claims the chinese embassy posted it on their X account. But I'm not on Twitter anymore, so I'm not sure I'd be able to fully check their account and it seems unlikely they would have posted such a thing themselves. So I don't know what the original source is to see if the image has any kind of metadata that would be an AI giveaway and a jpg is not gonna have such a thing.
You can tell it is by the way it is.
I hope you mean things more concrete than going by feel because I've heard of cases of people being witchhunted about AI use and it turned out they really did draw it. In this case, I can agree it's probably AI on closer inspection, but the tells I'm going by aren't obvious flaws to me at a glance; more like "oddity that an artist is unlikely to make while also making a drawing this detailed". Attaching an edit with a couple areas circled I think are tells. Only other main one I see is some of the text is a bit inconsistent in angles in contrast to how "text tool rather than hand drawn" some of the text looks.
Better make it two tea cups
It is ironic that China is the one who bring the ideal liberal world into reality. The Western European diaspora complains about tariff from one country. The assumptions from their liberal ideology is that a country can either change trade partners or develop their own industry in response to the lost of a trade partner. I do not understand why the Western Liberals are refusing to free themselves from their economic dependency on one country. Trump had only impose a minor barrier to trade. He is even merciful enough to delay trade barriers to accommodate other countries with high economic dependency on the US.
It's less about mercy, and more about bullying them in the right proportion so they aren't forced to seek alternatives to the US. The only things left for the US right now is the dollar dominance and consumer market (which is a consequence of the former). If China succeeds in creating an alternative financial system, the US is screwed. Maybe they will have an Argentina-like level of recession and hyperinflation.
