People really is scared caught up in the anti Chinese hype. Funny how the capitalists are so afraid of formidable competition when that's a core tenet. China was the worlds largest economy until the Century of Humiliation, when Euro powers forced their doors open. Now their middle class is growing, and their world influence too. Same types calling China a bully for their assertion in s.china sea but had no problem with the Monroe doctrine.
I still think competition is good for the world, absolute power is more dangerous. Some of the brightest minds saw it during the cold war, that's why you had scientists at the manhattan project leaking that tech to the bolsheviks. Guess folks got too comfortable in the fold of the current hegemony. Don't worry, youre free and brave and on the winning team.
Of course it's going to be a mutually beneficial thing, it's business. Developing countries should try em out, their track record ain't gone be worse than the West's "lending" institutions. How you think all these countries are still "developing" or "third world"? That's the fukking plan, keep them as client states and source nation. Completely dependent on foreign powers.
China was completely dependent on Britain for weapons. fukking look at them now. They used communism to nationalize, kicked the fukking foreign exploiters out and their domestic crony regime koumintang, and developed all their industries making them self reliant. These countries should look to the Chinese model to do the same. Working towards self reliance independence is the only way to self determination, no matter the position on the political spectrum.
