Oh yes innocent peaceful China, certainly not the worlds longest running imperialist country ever. How many hundreds of millions have been killed in wars by China?
The Chinese government has only been in power since the late-40s/early 50s. Do you contribute the deaths by Nazi Germany to the modern German state?
Ah China, 50 years of culture!
I once saw a documentary on China, in which at some point they visited the National History Museum of China or something alike where there was a huge wall where the nation’s history was depicted.
The Mao era was a tiny bump on a massive history. That country endured every assault from every foreign influence and power and simply progressed forward.
They still see themselves as an empire. The empire.
You’re just mad that you can’t kill our people like you used to.
One-note support of a regime with talking points rather than actual arguments? Smells like a govbot to me…
For non-bots: No one I’ve seen here is arguing that America hasn’t done shitty things. If you want to have China be your imperial masters, you have every right to make that decision, but imperialism sucks no matter who’s running it (hint: it’s not just a yt people thing), and China’s international relations strategy isn’t being run for the good of poor countries, but the good of the Chinese state. I think things tend to go better for the poweless when power isn’t unipolar, so poorer countries can play competing interests off each other, but every sovereign nation gets to make that call for themselves.
I love it when Westerners refuse to discuss their murderous deeds.
Pretty sure I’ve never murdered anyone personally, but I’m actually pretty much constantly talking about my country’s murderous policies. Which ones? Chile? El Salvador? Laos? Iraq? I’m a leftist, I can talk about that shit all day. I think we’re dicks. I’m just also antiauthoritarian, so I think the Chinese government are dicks, too.
