China can use economical pressure on the usa to allow countries to give aid to Cuba but they are selfish and self centered . Canada who is still selling weapons to the terrorist stste of israel also do it for keeping the fake image of the country wjo always stand for human rights values
Being selfish and self-centered is not always a bad thing, as a philosopher will tell you. It does not restrict one from being a philanthropist, if your goal is fame and glory.
Look at how many countries the west destroyed in the last few decades. They will continue to destroy everything where China can do business. Chinese selfishness could hurt them in the long term
Unfortunately for your position China has the resources and the wealth to build faster than America can destroy it. Look at what China has accomplished in their own country in just the last two decades. Whatever America destroys, China can rebuild ten times over. That is what the 'other countries' are beginning to realize, and why they are not really afraid of Trump. What China wants to do in the rest of the world is to raise the world standard of living in order to produce a larger market for Chinese exports. Yes, that is 'selfish', but yes, that is beneficial to the other countries. America wanted to keep the other countries impoverished, and to make really cheap goods for the American market. That is 'selfish', but also self-destructive. They now realize they have no export market, they do not make anything to export, now that the rest of the world has the money to buy stuff.
The Chinese make stuff, and also have the entire African market to export it to.

and what the west is doing is to fuel civil wars all over the countries China want to do business with . Rebuilding what the west destroyed takes decades to fix .
China is selfish because they keep ignoring how serious is the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and the attempt to destroy Iran . The policy of non interference may seems smart in short term but not in long term. China should be clear with American do not mess with our business
Whatever the West destroys, China can rebuild in a few years. When Tesla wanted to build cars in China, it took the Chinese exactly one year from no plans and raw ground to the first car coming off the line. China may be selfish, but that selfishness is enshrined in 'efficient'. China is well aware of the level of destruction in these countries, and is not ignoring it. Read my link. The evidence is clear and unambiguous.
China is NOT afraid to send America a very strong message. The two Michaels? Sure they were Canadian, but both had very strong ties to America. One set up the Republican connections with North Korea (Rodman's visit with Kim), the other carried out (Democrat) George Soros' plans through the International Crisis Group. Covered both American political parties, so it did not matter what President was in office. Chinese saying: kill the monkey, scare the dragon. Another Chinese saying: Kill with a borrowed knife.

I am sorry but China can't outbuild what is destroyed by civil wars.
A strong message is a message that comes will real threats. Which one China send. What the actions China would do if the usa don't listen?
You are thinking like an American, not a Chinese. Their 'strong message' was to build a larger navy than America has, develop nuclear ballistic missiles that will reach America, and develop 6th gen bombers.
When will they use it? When china has no stable ally anymore to do business peacefully?
They do not intend to use it. Just the knowledge that they have it and CAN use it is causing the US to back off against warmongering rhetoric against China. However, it is China that is developing the stable allies because of their military might, and America that is losing stable allies because it is becoming militarily impotent. America did not have the resources to defend even the Ukraine, so no country is now relying on the US to even defend America against another major military.
Like I already say the USA is taking down Chinese allies one by one and China is not using it's economical leverage to force the USA to behave . Africa is fueled by civil wars backed by the west and they will continue to fuel new ones. Trade needs stability Europe is just moving a bit temporary to China because of Trump but they will come back to the USA if dems wins again
You have an interesting version and concept of history and current events. Even if the Dems win the house, and even if they win the next Presidential election, nothing will change about the US because there is nothing any President can do to save it. The problems America has are systemic and ingrained in the economy. Trump is just the poster boy, bringing them out to the attention of the world. America has gone from America 80% world GDP to less than 20% world GDP in two decades. That will never be undone by ANY future President.
South Korea is actually taking over the role of America as the world's arms manufacturer, (heading for fourth place) and that will not change no matter what happens in the US politically. As the world shies away from American arms, South Korea is determined to pick up the slack. Once they get market share, they will not lose it. They have the industrial capacity to beat out anyone, even the US.
