@CarlZha “Usually Japanese people are not this mentally challenged when it comes to their cultural borrowing from China”. Um I beg to differ.

@skylight90000 @MentorWong It’s never been part of PRC but both PRC and ROC are part of China, so what’s your point?

@SampaioAurea @chigowk @RnaudBertrand Cuba needs to help itself, like how China helped itself.

@veniteo @chigowk @RnaudBertrand It’s obviously because you are not worth their time.

@anasonice @nick_ally1986 @estebanleon00 You realize it’s one thing to have some whiny fans complaining about your loyalty on the internet and another having your government and media saying that on major networks over and over, right?

[issybella @issybellapie]

@anasonice @nick_ally1986 Really? Like having the entire White House plus cabinet plus state media calling her a traitor to the country?

This WaPo article is unreal: they unironically mock China for not being imperialist and failing to use force to defend its interests, arguing that they're losing out to the U.S. (in Venezuela, Panama, etc.) which does precisely that.

In essence the article can be summarized as: "You Chinese losers thought you could gain influence by actually building things? The only thing that actually works is bombing people."

I'm not even exaggerating. The author literally writes that "China can spend all the money on infrastructure it wants... But in a crunch, it is only military force that counts."

He argues that China's approach was "a colossal waste of money" because "control of infrastructure can be changed" with a US-led "change of regime" and "ownership of any asset can be overturned."

His article's conclusion? "You can’t buy an empire, nor can you purchase global influence. It is only hard power that counts for anything."

As cynical and brutish as the article is, it's also refreshingly honest. It is factual that China's strategy was to win over the Global South by investing in their infrastructure and development, while the U.S. maintains its influence through regime change, various forms of coercion, and the threat (or use) of force.

The conclusion that it is China that should feel embarrassed by this as opposed to the U.S. is, however, completely insane.

Every sane person on earth should hope that it is China's approach that ultimately prevails, for the sake of our collective future as humanity. China is ultimately trying to prove that one can prevail geopolitically without violence, by building instead of destroying: don't be like this idiot WaPo writer and root for the answer to be "no".

@troll4Youhaha @zhao_dashuai China doesn’t need to CLAIM her. She’s ALREADY representing China, in case you somehow missed.

[issybella @issybellapie]

@JonnyRoot_ So are you saying every American who grew up in China should be loyal to China? Somehow I don’t believe you are that consistent.
