China is literally committing genocide on the Uyghurs. What makes you think they wouldn't do the same to other groups they dislike if they get into power?

Now they are buying all resources they can in Africa doing the same type of Colonialism Europe did a hundred years ago.

That is pure empire/hegemon propaganda that gets to write your history. The same applies to Ukraine agitation Holomodor designation, and the writers would will tell you Hamas is responsible for existing and near future genocide.

China responded to terrorism through education and job creation, in what is now a free and prosperous sharing region. Empire has purely demonic intentions in its foreign policy and propaganda.

Even if you buy into all the best Chinese propaganda (oh, so it's "terrorism" when Uyghurs fight against the state, but you're ok with Palestinian freedom fighting? Where's the consistency, tankies??), there's no denying that China is imperialist by virtue of the fact that they rule over the Uyghur and Tibetan peoples despite enormous cultural differences to the ruling imperial core and a demonstrated desire for independence.

You'll note that at no time did I try to make an argument that America is good. That's...the whole point of this post

And btw Hawai'i would have been a much stronger example to pick to highlight American imperialism.

Even if your sources weren't biased western rags and people that can't speak a lick of Mandarin but can talk all the trash in the world about China in support of white settlerdom (adrian zenz has 23 citations on your bullshit-ass wikipedia article alone), at least China pays for the things they buy; rather than stealing it at gunpoint like the Americans, the French, any part of the countries that profited off the Transatlantic Slave Trade rly, other et cetera. While we wanna bullshit about 'debt trapping', since that's obviously what you're talking about, what's the IMF again?

Deeply unserious; and DEFINITELY not beating the "weakest link" allegations.
