      Yes, when Europe militarizes it’s always been for the benefit of the world. Especially when they’re facing a deep economic crisis.

            I’d be happy with a world without a white supremacist hegemonic power, but I don’t think if China were to be the worlds only superpower we’d live in a better world.

              Currently the world’s superpowers are committing a second Holocaust in Gaza. It’s possible that 500,000 are dead (population was 2.1m before genocide began, Trump said there’s 1.6m in Gaza when negotiating with Israel). The EU is just as complicit in this genocide as the US. That’s just what’s happening now, one of many American atrocities.

              With that in mind: what has China ever done in history to make you so much more scared of them?

                I don’t disagree that EU and US do terrible things across all over the world. Palestinian genocide is a good example of why the world would be better off if it isn’t ruled by either the US or the EU. But these horrible things will continue to happen without one, two or three global superpower. It’s not like UN is really able to make a difference. The reason I’m more scared for China is not of how they have treated the people in other countries, but how they treat their own people. Do you have an example of how China helped a nation or people in a way that is western countries haven’t?

                  how they treat their own people

                  oh you mean lifting 800 million out of poverty? or did you mean building 48,000km of high speed rail. or did you mean leading the world’s investment in clean energy and hitting climate targets ahead of schedule?

                  You should look into the Belt and Road Initiative, which has been funding critical infrastructure in Asia and Africa for years now. Pretty recently, China forgave some billions of debt owed to them by African countries. Compare that to how the US and EU handle debt, where they only offer “relief” they require impoverished countries to cut social services and sell off mineral and agricultural rights. China wants international partners, US and EU want colonies.

                  China has dramatically improved living conditions for its own people over the previpus 50 years. This is in stark contrast to virtually every other non-OECD country subject to imperialism. It is even in stark contrast to many OECD countries who have spent the last 50 years neoliberalizing their economies, making life overall much more expensive for their people despite the spoils brought to them by imperialism.

                  What do you think of when you imagine the ills China has done “to its own people” and have you spent more than 10 minutes actually researching the topic(s)?

                  I don’t see how you can see the persecution of Uyghurs and the forced assimilation of Xinjiang

                  Xinjiang is already assimilated. It is part of China and has been for ages, governed under the guiding principles of multi-ethnic administration. The persecution of Uyghurs is far kinder and more positive than anything the West has ever cooked up. Vilifying it requires a particular level of gullibility that only really exists as white supremacist laziness.

                  and expect China to do any better. Genocide is genocide.

                  China has not committed genocide. However, the countries you prefer have.

              A lot of people are calling you out over the Uyghur nonsense but this kind of thinking:

              I’d rather be a German or Brit and be profiting from Palestinian families being vaporized than be one of those vaporized families. Do think it would be much much better if no family was vaporized.

              Is the absolute most monstrous thing that you could be saying. Seriously, imagine saying this about Jews being gassed in the Holocaust, or Black people being enslaved in the Atlantic slave trade. Your wishful thinking means nothing if you’re so caught up in the ideology that makes you think Chinese people will treat you the way your disgusting imperialist states have treated the third world for centuries. Thanks be to God that the world isn’t only populated by settlers who can only imagine things working out as dominators and dominated.

                  What? How is a Chinese person in the 21st Century profitting off the Holocaust? The actual analogous thing to what you said would be would you rather be a Jew being gassed, or a citizen of Nazi Germany profitting off slave labor in the concentration camps and doing nothing about it. And I believe in hell, so I don’t think I’d take the eternal damnation in this case.

              The white supremacist’s greatest fear is that they will be treated as harshly as they have treated others. So they must invent and imagine brutality to fear, justifying their subscription to continued ethnic cleansing against no-whites.

              how the state suppresses their people with a social credit system

              Lmao. The “social credit system” which literally never existed and even western media admitted was a misunderstanding (there was a credit system in place for scoring businesses which failed to pay debts in time). All the while in the capitalist-imperialist countries, one’s financial credit score determines their ability to buy a house or car.

              This level of arrogant-ignorance is something you can only find amongst true Europeans. Even Americans are known to be more critical of their propaganda narratives.
