    Raise it’s people out of poverty, right after starving the entire country almost into oblivion you mean? Rural Chinese aren’t even that much better than where they were a hundred years ago. Hell, parts of rural China is far worse than it was back then since at least there wasn’t any government interference beyond taxation back during the previous government.

    Emperor Xi is not doing a single thing for the benefit of the Chinese people. Every single metric that can be backed up with physical evidence shows that China is in a serious decline right now, and it’s entirely caused by their government. You say that China is justified in doing what it is doing, then you say that their aggression towards their neighbours in the South China Seas is justified? Ramming their fishing boats against coast guards? Sending thousands of fishing boats just outside of the EEZ of Argentina? Performing highly aggressive and potentially lethal stunts to harass neighbouring patrol planes doing completely legal and globally standard regional patrols because China decided to enact territorial laws that haven’t been enforced the entire time the CCP had existed?

    You are making completely bad-faith arguments. I’m not the one being racist here. Especially since I am a pure-blooded East Asian myself.

      Your complete ignorance about what is happening in China is appalling. It also smells of racism.
