    Ask Taiwan if if they think China is imperialistic. I’m sure you’ll get an answer.

      Ask a breakaway settler-colonial state if they are the real victims? I’m sure that’ll provide the correct answer

      Imperialism does not mean “of empire”. It is an economic system, the highest stage of capitalism.

        Yes. Yes it does.

        Also, you’re trying to challenge the definition of the word, but you’re not arguing with about China and Taiwan.

      Do you know what the KMT did to the indigenous people who occupied Taiwan before the KMT retreated there?

      I think the US will tell them to say “Yes”.

      Taiwan is literally a province of China. The imperialism in Taiwan is done by US who poured countless millions in propping up a puppet party there.
