    My favorite thing about China is their ethics. Sure, they could revenge the million humiliations the west did to them under colonialism, and yet they just give them access to cheaper cleaner energy. They just followed the Puyi routine: "No you don’t own us anymore, now you just clean shit. "

      I remember some Chinese government spokesman being interviewed by the BBC and he was basically like “the world order is changing, you’ll never be a superpower again but if you accept multipolarity and start dealing with us instead of America we’ll all benefit and you can make your country better” and then the presenter started literally having a meltdown about the Uyghurs and cut the interview short, so fucking embarrassing.

        NGL, multipolarity is the most ethical revenge there is.

        You don’t need to just colonize Britain and just do fascism in reverse: multipolarity will be a net positive for every Brit with a brain and will be utterly humiliating for CHUDs who want to genocide the global south so they can feel like they have a big PP.

        Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing.

          Well put, yeah. It’s definitely satisfying seeing weird Sinophobes crashing out as it gets increasingly hard to pretend they’re secretly a failed state while normal people are just buying reliable, cheaper Chinese products.

            Exactly and it’s a self-reinforcing cycle. The country crashing out and rejecting those cheaper Chinese products will only put itself at a competitive disadvantage against countries that don’t reject those products, which only expedites the shift in power.
