    “the Chinese”

    Not China (the country), not the PRC (the country), but “the Chinese.”

    Because that’s what the US ambassador thinks of Chinese people.

      They only want a world controlled by white men. They’ll bomb and kill anyone that threatens their fascist utopia.

    If that is the case, you probably should have thought about that 50 years ago when “you” allowed and encouraged industries to out-source. But it’s too late now.

        Well, we can work towards changing that, and judging by this article we’re well on the way it seems.

      But assuming that one has to be dominant, which would you choose of the ones that are realistic possibilities?

              Interesting for you to fold under even the first question to explain your position, but so be it.

        Whoever promises more support to anti-imperialist efforts, so that the world may build itself up together.

            All 3 have, what are you smoking? The US is one of the most imperialistic nations on Earth. That’s not to say Russia and China aren’t either, but to pretend the US didn’t forcibly annex territories is to wash away the centuries of genocide and Conquest as “okay” because it was done successfully and more than a few years ago.

              Do you consider things which happened hundreds of years ago to be of the same weight as things that are happening as we speak?

                Do you consider things which happened merely decades ago, even up to hundreds of years ago, have lasting impact on generations that follow?

                If you successfully do Imperialism, such that the colonized can no longer resist, does that erase the sin?

    Why? Are you afraid they’re going to treat you as poorly as you treated them? They won’t, but they absolutely should.
