Liberalism really is the winner of history

The USSR and Germany didn't.

China isn't pushing for hard power. They're pushing for soft power

*Looks at south china sea*

<:Doubt:588038713938804760>

I mean you solution

*Looks at belt and road*

consolidation of power through "cracking down on corruption" isn't really all that altruistic, more a sign of a power-hungry dictator

*Looks at Australia*

Is just "Well lets just make people slaves to the state"

*Looks at Africa*

*Looks at the massive deep-water ports they're building*

*That'll work this time RIGHT GUYS?*

*Looks at the nearly 1 / 3 of British energy generation they own*

You are citing time proven terrible governance models

Its hard to take you seriously

"Yeah guys!! They're just like the people before!"

🤔

Yeah guys! Just like the USSR!

So your solution is to subjugate the people of the countries

good plan

Unify the governments of those countries

Yeah.

Instead of actively combat china's policies

Facists like power it seems, why not just get behind china?

Money

power

so we become tyranny to destroy tyranny? sounds like a plan

what could go wrong?

And how do you "actively combat China's policies" when they can pull shit like this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-18/eu-set-to-tighten-rules-on-foreign-investment-to-fend-off-china

And then Portugal veto's it citing "China helped us, so we're going to help them"

How do you combat China, when they're in your governments <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Preventing legislation which will hurt them?

How do you do that Joshu?

*How do we do exactly what I want when people I dont agree with are in government*

In the end it all comes down to people thinking tyrannies will be on their side

News flash

It wont

*How do we stop Chinese expansion into our governments*

"We don't!"

they will be on their side
