Neither does Western powers. Their support for the genocide in Gaza proves as much.

It really is illustrative of the absolute depths of westerners complete thoughtless hypocrisy that they think building a few shacks on uninhabited islands is remotely comparable to what the USA does.

Countries in East and Southeast Asia are Westerners now? The Koreans, Taiwanese, Japanese, Pinoy, Vietnamese, Malays will be surprised to hear that. All of these countries are afraid of Chinese ambitions.
Maybe ask the Tibetans if they think the Chinese annexation of their homeland is just Western hypocrisy.
You are aware that China invaded Vietnam after the USA left?
You are ignorant of the regional policies. Not everything is as Western centric as your limited understanding of geopolitics.

Oh my mistake, I didn’t realize I was talking to the collective lemmy account of the people of Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Pinoy, Vietnam, and Malay.
Oh wait, I’m not. I’m talking to an arrogant westerner who feels entitled to tell non-westerners what their opinions are, and to tell them that actually they would be no worse off if America was bombing them and taking over.
Notice how you have to go back half a century, to an example that is not nearly as bad as what America did.
No, you’re just a denialist about how brutal western colonialism actually is. You’re not ignorant of it though, you’re an apologist for it, desperately trying to redefine the word so it seems no worse than infrastructure deals.
