When China says it is gonna do something like fulfill a treaty or a contract they actually fulfill it- but at what cost?

Not only do they fulfill it but they also exceed expectations with build quality. Compared to western shit which is often below the agreed upon minimum standards and you'll have to fight tooth and nail to get it there.
If by "the world" they mean "the west", as they usually do, then yes, the west will miss the times when it could be as hypocritical as it wanted because of global dominance
Actually they probably also mean the global South because they think they're doing the global South a favor and that this is a teaching moment; as a Kenyan official once reportedly said: "Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time Britain visits we get a lecture"

The global south is going to really miss all those ways their infrastructure had even less of a chance to develop domestic alternatives before tech companies just decided to have complete control over their tech and communications if they start having Dangerous Ideas
So we've reached the state of society where they don't even bother with the quiet part
Help I can't tell what's real and what's satire anymore 
No actually it won't, shut up dipshit.
“Matias Spektor”
Oh come the fuck on even the author has a fucking supervillain secret identity name
Gonna look up his credentials and it’s just gonna list shit like “endangered animal hunter” “stolen art collector” “eye-patch but it only half conceals a bad-ass facial scar”
They may have a point
I propose Western Society cease existing so we can test
a spektor is haunting amerikkka 
That is an amazing headline. 10/10, would read again.

Look what you made me do to you

Where are you gonna go, huh?
I wonder what this person says about capitalism if they have such a problem with transparent transactional relationships.
They've got a pageant for everything nowadays.
:do-not-cum:
I totally forgot about it! 
“Transactional”? Lmao. More like might makes right robber baron shit.
The West might. The rest of the world was already living in an overtly transactional world when engaging with the west previously, but those transactions were hideously unfair.
