> China didn't just form with its current borders. It expanded and contracted and expanded some more for millennia.

As did everyone else?

I don't see China having military bases all over the world and proping up "freedom fighters"

help



I was responding to the incorrect assertion that China was the least imperialist country on the planet, which is clearly false. Maybe read the entire conversation before jumping in?

You keep spewing apologist nonsense by refusing to acknowledge that the US is by far the most imperialist entity at the moment.

In comparison, China is the least.


China has been very active in Africa as of late, and it has... Interests in my own country as well.

Interestingly China in Africa has been more commercial (not that "free" long term loans don't have a down side, and bribing "officials' to condone the sale of generational farming lands, etc. isn't a bad thing) than military - but where China has used mercenary forces .. it's most often been outsourced to US PMCs (Private Military Contractors)

eg. In the Congo https://friendsofthecongo.org/erik-prince-in-congo-transnati... and elsewhere.

You only know of two major countries in the world?


The original post didn't mention the US.

My response didn't say any country was better or worse than any other country, just that China had an imperialist past.

The strange whataboutism you're doing and trying to "debate" things that only you have brought up isn't a compelling form of argumentation. Stating that I was defending and spewing "apologist nonsense" about the US, when I hadn't mentioned the US at all is just really odd. I can't tell if you're really young and haven't learned about how to argue points and/or you're from China and simply can't handle anything negative said about your homeland?
