a trade war that has been continuing for over 20 years
extremely high property prices continually being sold to foreign investment firms
an agricultural industry formally based upon small business family farms now being funnelled into a few small foreign hands
a loss in political influence over our neighbours due to a global superpower pushing us out
an education system focused on providing greater care for exchange students than educating an increasingly stupid at home population

please plEASE PLEASE reread this list and tell me how this is a china issue and not a your-country-doing-capitalism issue and that you're not a liberal

"Doing capitalism"

Yes, there are Chinese capitalists, and they're often as noxious as any capitalist. The difference is they're not in control, they can be imprisoned or executed for their crimes. China is doing capitalism they way you'd do a hobby. Meanwhile, the anglosphere has capitalism like you'd have HIV: there is no function not compromised by it, and our capitalists are above the law.

Like dude, your problem is with capitalism.

Time to swap overlords, vassal state.

By even implying these are issues with China you have already provided a perspective. Everyone can see it and it is a perspective that has hoovered up propaganda.
