You have provided no evidence to support your arguments, you’re just saying them, as usual.
No one is saying that any of it is altruism. But just because it’s not altuism doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s exploitation. There is a third option.
And I’m not passing whatever that is through a translator.
Ah, the “third option” cop-out—where exploitation gets rebranded as benevolence. You’re right, it’s not altruism; it’s calculated self-interest dressed up in flowery rhetoric. Call it what you want, but when nations lose sovereignty over ports, railways, and resources, it’s not a partnership—it’s a leash.
And if you don’t recognize the last paragraph, just show it to your handler. They’ll know what it means.
Again, no evidence. Just assertions that I guess you’re accustomed to people simply accepting as received wisdom.
Show this to your handler in Langley: Pound sand.
