I live in a country that is slowing passing from American hegemony to Chinese hegemony.

Things that American want: money, business, eternal debt that makes global bankers richer and richer, austerity that makes the country and its citizens poorer, abortion, feminism, lgbt, lots of leftists NGOs and UN agencies, immigration, diluting the national character, removing traditions and religion, protecting the criminals with human rights while good citizens live in fear, making the government dependent from global organizations, protecting the foreigner before the citizen… etc etc

What Chinese people want: money and international power. Anything that you do inside your borders is your business.

Give me the scammers Chinese every time. By the way, when I lived in Houston for one year, everybody was trying to scam me for an easy buck. But the biggest scam in the world is “American help”

Yes, the Chinese didn`t invent the fake Vaxx and try to make everyone take it

They did invent their own not-vaxx – two of them, actually – both of which turned out to be even less effective than the US and UK not-vaxxes, and then forced them on their own people through workplace mandates. The population supposedly rebelled against an outright actual vaccine passport plan, yet local officials and governments blacklisted people who didn’t have the Sinovac and Sinopharm clot-shots throughout 2021.

And that’s before we get to the insanely draconian lockdowns that the Chinese imposed on their own people, trapping tens of thousands inside an exhibition centre because of ONE positive Coof test, welding people into their own houses, smashing in the heads of pets on the street, etc.

Then there is Libya, Syria etc.

Tell that to the Africans now infuriated by being colonised by the Chinese. They are every bit as bad as the British and French before them, in the eyes of those Blacks.

It is true that the Chinese have not generally intervened militarily in another country since, basically, 1979 in Vietnam – when they got their butts handed to them. It is also true that the Chinese are more than capable of using debt-trap diplomacy to ensnare other countries in exactly the same way that the Americans and Europeans did it, only much more quickly and effectively.

I do not believe that the Chinese will be as militaristic and interventionist as the USA has been. They will exercise their hegemony, for the little time that they have it, in rather more insidious ways, through economic, financial, and technological leverage.

Yes, the Chinese didn`t invent the fake Vaxx and try to make everyone take it. Then there is Libya, Syria etc. It gets tiring hearing Americans claim the Chinese would be worse when their history in comparison shows they could not be.
