I think that is such a pure liberal take as I have ever seen: in order to combat foreign imperialism we must maintain our own!
At least with the protectionist reaction of the Trump people it used the ‘guise’ of isolationism to further it’s internal goals. Heck even socialists are somewhat protectionist in some ways while maintaining internationalism i.e. universal cooperation which is essentially what China is promoting. American imperialism is on the decline and these people use socialist phraseology to further liberal goals, if I remember Lenin wrote on something like this of using phrases haphazardly.
Either way, if China or any other country were true imperialists we’d see a lot more conflict and all of this posturing wouldn’t be needed. Instead of focusing on China, focus homeward where things matter more than a country that is not your own.
Exactly. Where are the conflicts China started? Where are the wars China fought? Where are the coups, the sanctions, the sternly-worded letters, the threats, the petitioning of the UN?
Meanwhile the United States never signed a no-first strike policy so that they can keep threatening countries with nuclear weapons.
