    They’re turning an entire continent into a sweatshop to feed their own greed and consumerism. They learned from the best! And they’re improving on it through the strength of single party central planning.

        The measure they’re taking to address it is creating vassal states to turn into sweatshops.

          No? Where on Earth did you get that idea? They are focusing on raising wages and boosting consumption, lowering import fees from global south countries to help their rising industry, and are trying to boost incomes in the countryside.

            Lol, Jesus dude! Are you just plagiarizing U.S. state department talking points from the mid 20th century on U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia and other places in the global south?

              Nope! I’m an anti-imperialist communist that studies the world as it exists today. The global south is rapidly developing, boosted by trade and partnerships with China. Western imperialism brought stunted development to even negative development. Read the sources I linked.

                I’m more knowledgeable about this that you could ever hope to be (do you see how statements like that aren’t even remotely convincing?). I’m well aware of the cherry picked information you use to support your delusion.

                  You certainly haven’t been able to demonstrate your theory here, and haven’t been able to disprove a single claim I’ve made.

                    None of your circle jerk “theory” will change the fact that hundreds of millions of Chinese live in poverty to fuel the grotesquely lavish lifestyles of a few, and that those few are turning their exploitative efforts outward to accumulate even more wealth, while letting a little “trickle-down” to keep the plebs calm.
