      If you think China supports it’s citizens

      Even Atlanticists admit that China has brought ~800 million people out of poverty.

      Mostly it’s people in imperialist/neocolonialist countries who think China is imperialist/neocolonialist. It’s not a popular opinion in Global South countries.

        Are these the same global south countries that China is building things at prices they know they can’t pay back so that they can seize them later or the China that is currently trying to take over huge parts of the ocean that belong to others under international law?

          Typical projection. China is not charging the usury rates & terms that the IMF and World Bank famously do in order to put Global South countries into debt traps. And they’re not creating 800+ extraterritorial military bases to enforce them like the US has.

              You mean the parts of the ocean called the East China Sea and the South China Sea? 🤣

              And that article is a decade old: it’s only gotten worse.

          Even The Atlantic, voice of the colonists, wrote a deep piece debunking the Chinese debt trap. China has forgiven sooooo much debt to other nations it’s laughable you could even make this post without blushing.

      Is China shipping billions of dollars in weapons to Israel as they, in 3 months, have dwarfed Ukrainian civilian casualties over 2 years? No? Well…

      Did China instigate a coup of Pakistan’s democratically-elected leader? No?

      Is China the only country voting against the Right to Food pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25)? No?

      Hm.
