First of all, I want to say that it’s wonderful to see all of you here, and your critical support of the nation I proudly call home. But more and more recently, especially reading through Chinese internet too, there has been a sense of overconfidence and overglorification of China. It is honestly a little worrying at times for me, because as much as I love my homeland and is proud of what we are doing, I know full and well that we are still a long way to go. I see this sentiment of China being the glorious land far away as a bastion and utopia against Western Imperialism and while there’s a lot of truth behind that sentiment, and I definitely understand why one not living in China would choose to believe this (I live in the US now and I understand your pain, fellow US comrades). I just want to remind everyone to exercise dialectal materialism on this subject and try to look at China in a less idealised way. We cannot grow to be better without recognising our mistakes. Anyways that is my little message to you all. Have a nice day!
I think the “cooperation” with rougue goverments like those you have showed are less about cooperation and more about the chinese neutral foreign policy, they try to be as neutral as possible in their relationships with other countries so the market stays stable and that diplomatic incidents are more rare. I know its anoying that the biggest AES country right now is so neutral in their foreign policies, but i think its better like this, China still is an developing country, they need all the foreign investment they can to grow fast. I hope that when China is able to be almost fully developed with an behemoth of an economy that will be much bigger then right now, then they will start having an more agressive posture. Lets hope that the chinese patience will pay off well in the end.
