And soon you will start to see Chinese military bases all around the world..

How do you think the US got those military bases to begin with, other than the host countries being thankful for something?

They are seeing the US withdrawing its soft power and fill the gap. Just wait until China replaces the USAID workers and the countries gratefully sell their resources to them instead of the US…

To be fair, Donald left the WHO because he claimed the Chinese were taking it over. And look he must have been right because boy did they take it over.

The next stage of global fascism becomes more entrenched by the day. Each rising power builds and "improves" upon the fascist system of the last. Now China and Russia get their turn at the imperial wheel.

the comments are great. My favorite overall theme is the anxiety of westerners that China would be the next Empire of the World. Because we know that would be bad. Because European and American Empires are/were atrocious. No possible alternatives. Someone must maintain absolute dominance over people and the world.
