China had no intention to take over anywhere. They’re happy where they are.


When I meant take over everything: I meant industries like cars, solar panels, chips, software etc.


No intention to take over? So they’ll walk away from Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Taiwan?

Also, leading countries in Asia and Africa into debt traps and dependence on them through the BRI is not very different from taking over.


HK and Xinjiang are already part of china. Tibet and Taiwan have historical ties. China has no expansionist ambitions, they just want what they perceive as theirs.

And like, idk if you know this, but the world bank and the IMF are the ones offering the predatory loans. Countries choose to work with China instead exactly because the terms of their loans are better than the western alternatives.


>China has no expansionist ambitions

According to Rudyard Lynch, China has invaded Vietnam 27 times.


According to me they haven’t. I can make a youtube channel too if that adds to my credibility.
