No one is saying we'll like it if China does bad shit in other countries, but they haven't invaded anywhere in decades even when provoked. Meanwhile the US bombs a few countries a year, and launches a full on invasion every few years, not to mention the unilateral illegal sanctions they impose which kill over half a million people every year. When China does nearly a tiny fraction of that we can talk. In the meantime you're just repeating western propaganda. China develops our countries, the US coups or invades them.

And you're doing exactly what OC said is happening on lemmy. Confusing US being awful shit with China being a saint. It's not.

Not invading other countries is a low bar honestly.

And yes, I also think every big country and company should split into smaller ones, because every big country or company inevitably centralizes its power, creates internal nobility class and serf class with no upward mobility.

That includes China. 200m Chinese partake in gig economy making their own serf class. Taizidang making nobility class.

Is China developing like crazy and a better place to live for Chinese people than 40 years ago? Of course. If anyone contests that they are ignorant.

China develops our countries

Don't glorify it just because USA is evil.

See investments in Africa and loan defaults ceding ownership of mineral sources to China. Example - study by a non-Western source https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386200503_China's_Economic_Engagement_in_Africa_A_Study_of_Neo-Colonialism_vs_Development_Partnership

I do agree that OC is wrong calling China worse than USA. Mordor is better than USA.
