    Realistically, China, as an hegemony seeking super power, would do the same thing no matter what century and flavor of autocratic regime is at the helm at that particular time. No need to make it more than what it is, really.

      Citation needed.

      Also you didn’t really respond to anything said.

        Have you ever listen to the CCP’s rhetoric? Especially Xi’s neo-traditionnalism and “restoring China’s just place at the center of the world”.

        Also you didn’t really respond to anything said.

        And neither did you, you were off-topic from the get go.

          Have you ever listen to the CCP’s rhetoric? Especially Xi’s neo-traditionnalism and “restoring China’s just place at the center of the world”.

          When China historically was the “center of the world” did they exert imperial hegemony over the rest of the known world?

          This is a rhetorical question, because they didn’t.

          When you look at the way China has been making itself “center of the world” you’ll note the lack of imperialism in their policy. They do not rely on financial and military control in foreign countries the way empires do.

          And neither did you, you were off-topic from the get go.

          You were claiming they weren’t left wing and were state capitalist, I was addressing that misconception. Did you just try to say this as a “no you!”?
