What about Asia? Are we forgetting Africa is China's China right now?
100%. Exploitation is not limited to one continent or group of people.
If China does to Africa what they did to themselves, that would be awesome!
Enslaving and killing ethnic groups en masse, creating a surveillance police state, imprisoning people for criticizing the government, making their people work in sweat shops to rule and manipulate global manufacturing, collecting personal information on every person on earth, militarily and financially supporting the worst despots on the planet?
People don't ever seem to want to talk about demographics in China, I can't figure out why 🤔 maybe the fact that it's an ethnostate...
Why are you talking about the US? And literally what the Europeans did to Africa for centuries.
Yes, both are terrible. Africa should be run by Africans.
And that’s exactly what China does? They don’t do unilateral trade agreements. They don’t impose their policies on countries they make deals with. They are equal partners. Which is why most countries in Africa prefer China as a partner than the US or EU nowadays…
Southeast Asia, Australia, and parts of the US chosen to accommodate for national debt would like to have a word with you.
