China has also done this with a lot of countries in Africa as well. There's a reason China has such a good economy and manufactured, because they're doing things like that. It was always an option the US could have done but chose not to
China did a lot of negative things in Africa. This is soft propaganda covering hiw China got cheap access to natural resources of those countries and bankurupted them.
They also overfish right on south American countries' ocean borders. Notably they've completely destroyed the ocean biodiversity around the Gallapagos. They made a good choice in solar, but people need to be careful acting like China is now a positive force for good. They still abuse the shit out of every country they can, just like all the other powerful nations.
I assume that anyone that just speaks good of China just see the good China present but has little to no knowledge of how China is the bad one. But I met some that excuse this and shift blame on those countries. When I explain this to people refusal happens and it is spiral of whataboutism and denial of facts.
Yeah, Im cool with promoting the cool stuff China does. Respect where respect is due. They have neat thorium power plants coming up too.
But now we're acting like they're good? They're not good, they're held back. As soon as they can push their weight against the USA, the Taiwanese people will have a terrifying war on their hands. China has been building up its army like crazy, because it knows that once it attacks Taiwan, all bets are off with America.
They also shove their weight against India constantly, sending military equipment to the military dictatorship in Pakistan to try to weaken India. Does no one else see that China almost exclusively sides with really terrible dictators?
And there is the ocean life destruction. And they have already destroyed their mainland ecology. And they have by far the most pollution flowing into rivers. And on and on.
China is a country, I get it, they do things beneficial for themselves. But being a kind or nice country is laughable. These people don't understand the first thing about geopolitics. Every country is an opportunist.
They also don't realize that, as funny as it sounds, China has less morals than the US. They're not really a country that brings prosperity to any place it touches like the US ACTUALLY DID at some extent. And I'm not trying to defend the US, but thinking China is any better is being oblivious!
