  Why do you talk like this? And is that all you can do to counter what I’ve said, just act like it’s ridiculous to avoid engaging with the points raised?

    The moment you say that “China isn’t imperialist to begin with” you lose all credibility and reading the rest is a waste of time.

    Read about the Belt and Road initiative, the militarisation of the South China Sea, the treatment of Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Tibet, or Taiwan, THEN come back and say with a straight face that “China isn’t imperialist to begin with”. :D

      So in other words, the moment you read anyone that disagrees with you, you stop thinking immediately and reflexively shut off any and all engagement? Sounds like you’ve holed yourself up in an echo chamber of your own making. I already addressed all of these subjects either here or elsewhere, directly.

        No. The moment someone makes a claim that is utterly ridiculous in its disregard for facts, I disregard their reasoning.

        If you said “the Earth isn’t round to begin with”, you’d earn an identical reaction.

        Sounds like you’re projecting.

        Why is china ramming Philippine boats in waters that aren’t their territory?

      Sure, the person who refuses to engage with any counter evidence and acts incredibly smug must be the credible one…

        I’m not going to engage in this discourse, just as much as I won’t engage in the discourse about whether or not the Earth is flat.
