    The global south is steadily developing now thanks to countries like China

    To be fair, China is an imperialist power that is supporting the Global South in the same way the West enacted the Marshall Plan for Germany and Japan.

      No, that’s nowhere close to reality. China isn’t imperialist, full-stop, and that’s why the countries it trades with and establishes strong ties in the global south recieve multilateral development. When the west does so, it forces privatization of safety nets, sets up millitary bases, creates a class of compradors, and runs an extraction campaign.
