Lotta words to waste anyone's time. China is absolutely imperialistic you literally quote it yourself talking about the global south. China has capitalist aspects and as time goes on engages more and more with capitalism as you said, because the rest of the world does too.
I also don't like capitalism but you're lying bro. π€₯
How do I say China has imperialized the global south? The opposite is true. China has markets and private property with socialism as the basis of the economy and a socialist state.
They haven't imperialized it, I don't think that's really how you even say that, but they engage in imperialism especially in Africa. I think you're just not willing to admit their behavior is literally by definition imperialism especially because a huge intent is to weaken western influence, the whole goal of imperialism is influence. So if you engage with trying to influence another country, you're doing an imperialism.
China is definitely socialist I'm not denying that, they have socialist structures and aspects. But acting like they're not imperialistic and don't engage with any capitalism just isn't true and they're things people around here really believe they are and it comes off as either ignorant or like you're shilling some crap. You know? It's polarizing to be dishonest.
What are you talking about? They absolutely do not.
Then you're doing an imperialism right now by trying to influence people. What even is this definition? You can't be serious.
Wow. So the ONLY thing that's not imperialism is just doing what other countries tell you do, but never attempting to influence anyone else? Tell me more about your understanding of politics.
The belt and road initiative is an example of imperialism. If you don't understand that then everything else you understand is wrong completely. It's literally the definition of imperialism.
I'm not a country influencing a country with policies and diplomacy. Nice try though.
You guys don't understand imperialism that simple. A country influencing another, that's imperialism there's really no other way around it. You'd call the one who is doing the most influencing in the world, imperialist countries.
