    Yeah, that guy’s gone. The policy with China was to encourage it to become the Germany of Asia in the hopes that it would liberalize as it developed. Well…no…shit happens…

      How about this from 2025?: Kaja Kallas: EU Must Focus on Russia Before Taking on China | Dawn News English

      It is not like Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism suddenly stopped in the West. China sees what the West is doing to Gaza and the Middle East as a whole, and knows if it weren’t for its might they would do the same to it. I see Westerners online openly daydream of breaking up China and post their maps of a broken-up China. Breaking up the Middle East and the Muslim World doomed it for over a century, why would China allow that for itself? They know they are next.

      Also, why is liberalism mandatory? I don’t want my country <insert bad evil illiberal arab country> to liberalize. There are other systems that work just as well if not better than [mandatory] Liberalism. If Chinese liberalize that’s their own business and if they don’t that’s their choice.
