    Unlike the US, China hasn’t been declaring war every week for two centuries.

    Instead, the belt and road initiative is what neolibs think USAID is.

      I guess the border clashes with India where you want to take their land aren’t happening.

      That your explicit, logistical and tactical support for Russia aggression against Ukraine isn’t happening.

      I also guess you’ve never commited genocide against the Uyghurs.

        Nor Tibet, Nor Taiwan, Nor Hong Kong - China may not be as willing to engage in intercontinental wars but it absolutely does use force or the threat of force to bully neighbors. Anyone denying Chinese aggression hasn’t been watching the South China Sea.

      belt and road initiative

      This is a neo-colonists project. USAID actually did a lot of good things. I dare you to show an example of Chinese foreign aid that did the good things that USAID did.

      Belt and road very likely passing through Syunik, Armenia, and in that project most likely devised as area occupied by Azerbaijan in near future, right? And before that passing through Artsakh, which is already occupied by Azerbaijan and ethnically cleansed. F-ck, they’ve even demolished a prehistoric megalith because they can’t tell the difference between that and something Armenian.

      Not being too assertive, just - this particular part concerns my family and part of my heritage, so there’s need to mention it.

      Anyway, China still occupies Tibet. And - you don’t need to make war if you can just buy aboriginal elites, like in Central Asian countries, and some sub-Saharan African ones.
