    Ask Taiwan if if they think China is imperialistic. I’m sure you’ll get an answer.

      Imperialism does not mean “of empire”. It is an economic system, the highest stage of capitalism.

        Yes. Yes it does.

        Also, you’re trying to challenge the definition of the word, but you’re not arguing with about China and Taiwan.

      Do you know what the KMT did to the indigenous people who occupied Taiwan before the KMT retreated there?
