[QUOTE="Knight of Malta, post: 1281503, member: 13938"] Sounds to me like China is just doing what every sane and normal country does, is pursuing its own interests pragmatically. It's not anything that is uniquely evil or morally wrong, it is just an amoral question of geopolitical interests and power. Is it really unreasonable for China to have its own logical sphere of influence in East Asia and for not wanting the US to get involved in agitating for the Hong Kong protestors, in the name of globohomo liberal democracy? Also its aspiration for an end to the liberal Western NWO is also reasonable considering that the US has been declining in power relative to the rest of the world and American influence receding from the world is only natural. In that circumstance, it makes sense that other rising powers -- China, Russia, India, Turkey, and others -- start carving out their own spheres of influence as the geopolitical environment resembles more of a 19th century "Concert of Powers" rather than the post-WW2 American-dominated liberal world order. China isn't going to dominate the world in the same way the US did because the power of the US at its peak comes from a number of unique factors to America, and this is not going to be replicated with China or any other country. Lmao, come on dude, we know exactly [i]who[/i] "all of America" is beholden to, and it's not "the Chinese." [/QUOTE]
