China's navy is... lackluster to say the least but the US still considers it a major threat does it not?

No?

They consider China a threat because of its threat to trade partners

South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Philipiness, Taiwan.

China has been fairly self-sufficient

As well

China doesnt preach globalism

It has no need

It preach sinoism instead

What about the one belt one road?

GG @Fane, you just advanced to level 1!

doesnt preach globalism? what the fuck do you think the belt and road initiative is?

you do know china loans billions to african and island nations

As economic imperialism

you know china are far more lenient creditors than the IMF right

China loans the money and then get to use the infrastructure they build to extract more natural goods

you realise thats what the IMF and world bank do

<:JFK_smiling:601284245524185113>

except they are far more imperialistic in their demands

No shit China has to be more lenient

Why would u be harsher than the World Bank

Theyre influencing African governments to trade more exclusively with China

Question: How come?

Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, while in a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by an American, using [Bill Gates's] technology, and you're probably reading this on a computer that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.*
