We have a long mostly harmless history with local Chinese entrepreneurs, but I’m talking about CCP-sponsored conglomerates and drug, gambling, and troll farms planted just around metros.
It’s mostly soft power and undercover for now, but if the US isn’t looking, we’d be Belarus to Russia.
Sike it’s not all softpower, we have the fucking South China Sea.

US imperialism: we bombed the fuck out of your country and enslaved your people installing a fascist dictatorship and supported it for 30 years
Chinese “imperialism”: oh no, consumer goods are too cheap!

Lol missed the point. If other powers aren’t watching, they’d do the same. For now they “only” do these (on top of my head):
You know, things that won’t catch international attention but slowly but surely are fucking us up

China literally has a well established history of debt forgiving, you’re projecting what the western IMF actually does.
China’s trade balance is net positive towards exports by like $1tn yearly? It’s literally not extracting the resources from anyone else, you’re literally making this up, projection again
More projection. Suharto was propped up by the US, he was the one mass-murdering communists in Indonesia.
More projection, the US was doing this recently against Venezuelan fishermen, literally fucking bombing people. You’re falling for US propaganda.
Oh no, a sovereign nation doesn’t want its seas to be blockaded by US-aligned forces!
Again projection, the ones with the opium plantations in Afghanistan were the US, there’s no evidence of any such systematic acts by China, drugs are extremely prohibited in China.
Not aware of this, but again, you’re literally spelling out the name of the nation whose imperialism you’re projecting.
You’ve been propagandized against China when it was literally the US maintaining a military dictatorship in your fucking country killing a million communists.

With all due fucking respect, this is not coming from US propaganda or making shit up. This is coming from daily life experience of a lower class around the metro. Most of this shit are barely documented online so I’m not surprised if anything here is news to you.
Debts forgiven? Not without secret payment of land, water, and letting in CCP-owned companies. Within a decade, I can no longer buy local-grown produce from public markets, and no longer buy local-made clothes in my hometown who historically had the largest textile industry. It’s all Chinese imports and surplus.
And it’ not difficult to understand anti-CCP ≠ pro-US. Literally nothing in my comments are “projecting” or defensive of the US. The US installed the Marcoses, CCP installed the Dutertes. Now that both have seats, they’re fucking us up undercovers, scrambling for who keeps the throne for themselves.
And stating the obvious here, China is not communist. Both have been secretly genociding rural and indegenous minorities in the name of “culling communists.” The general public is even barely aware of this, it just happened under our noses and silenced with little discussion.
