    Nah. The US does this for its economic growth, stealing the resources of foreign countries in order to maintain its dominance. China has never done anything like that, growing to its competitive position in the world without a single war in the last 50 years.

    Doing “all militaries bad” shit is just a method of being a nationalist and defending america by dismissing everyone as equally bad, when everyone is certainly NOT equally bad in this regard.

        Here are Tibetan serfs burning the leases that legally bound them to their lords’ estates

        Here is the PLA training a women’s militia, so they can go shoot to death the landlords and theocrats who have enslaved them for a thousand years (look at that smile!)

        Here is the CIA’s opinion on the matter (note, China was still controlled by the nationalists so that’s what ‘pro-China’ means, the Mongolian People’s Republic were the closest communists)

        I’ll just

        leave these here
