Good thing they are completely inept other it would be concerning.
The comment you linked to wants to exploit cheap labour in India to “combat” China. These people are off the rails.
They’re back on the liberal “just boycott it” rhetoric.
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.

anarchists constantly proving stalin right
We believe that the Anarchists are real enemies of Marxism.
…as advocates of small community socialism, the Anarchists are not genuine Socialists…in so far as they repudiate the dictatorship of the proletariat, the Anarchists are also not genuine revolutionaries.
China has been luring (or coercing) African countries into debt traps, which is very harmful in the long run, but nothing compared to the direct and overt harm Western powers have caused on the continent over the centuries, which still has to wait for a single ‘democratic’ regime supported by its former colonizers. I’m not saying this to make China look good,
Oh really? Cause you’re making china look really good right now.
Doesn’t China, like, just invest in Europe so that we can buy more of their cheap shit and sell them more of our food?
i mean… they’re not exactly wrong. both chinese and american imperialism should be a concern
