shitting on the global hegemonic imperialist power into which the exploited labor of billions feeds is "contrarian". of course.

I’m not a fan of imperialistic western behavior either

oh no, they better not follow it up with a b--

but

lmfao.

doesn’t make China a positive influence on the world stage

I'm a little confused by what metric China isn't a positive influence on the world stage. sure, call them 1985 george ornell aminal farm authoritaritarians all you want inside their country, continue to make social credit score jokes like a dipshit, whatever, but China hasn't declared war on a country in decades and they've actively pumped one trillion dollars into infrastructure projects in developing countries, forgiving debts as often as not. meanwhile, the US pumps trillions of dollars into murdering civilians into several of those same countries.

I think it's important to point out it's not the dogshit kind of infrastructure that Western dogs build, only building railroads from mines directly to ports to more easily steal the Global South's resources, China's actually helping build infrastructure that interconnects these countries economies so they can actually develop.

I get your point but this isn't a consistent expectation. They're unserious people who haven't got a coherent outlook on countries like China, they accept an aggregate of headlines and reddit comments or tweets they come across. MSM doesn't portray China as a force for good on the foreign scene, in fact it uses vagueries to scaremonger, so it's natural that somebody who's fallen for CCP genocide, opression whatever narratives won't look into the facts of the matter and see the good the PRC does.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
