And they will still claim that communism is the biggest killer with capitalism only saving lives.
It is incredible how cheap USAID was and what an outsized impact it had. Basically what that means now is America has lost any soft power it has. The parts of the world that aided US companies and interests due to the US providing aid to their countries have no motive in continuing to do so, and coups and overthrows won’t always work if enough people continue to hate your guts.
Basically if and when China steps up in providing aid, then Basically China will fully replace the US on the world stage.
I actually predict that there will be a ww3 of some kind when the US gives one last desperate attempt to hold onto power, and it won’t be a pretty sight.
China’s “helping” by investing heavily all along the silk road, full on newly built ports in Africa, and any nation who wants to become the new cheap labor market so China doesn’t have to, and can grow, usually by ripping off other nations technologies.
You know the surveillance state in China? You know those bitch ass tech bros in the US and elsewhere? The ones who claim we need a bigger more invasive surveillance state in the West else China will win?
They are the ones who salivated at selling and providing all the tech to China and continue to do so. Do you remember when Google initially flat out refused China’s heavily curtailed and monitored version of Google for their own market and Google initially refused because it was too authoritian? Well a few years after that they came crawling back for those sweet sweet Chinese monies and gave them all they wanted and much more.
So ripping off is bullshit. They playing them like a fucking fiddle and developing their own tech on top of it, which is exactly what happened in all other developing nations. Japan was once seen as nothing but a cheap low-quality copycat from the 1920s to the 1960s before they suddenly became the smartest most creative people in the room… and the same shit was being flung at the Chinese until they became the massive powerhouse they are now.
China is obviously going to help building infrastructure to benefit their own shit. But the major difference is China hasn’t bombed anyone or established overseas military bases… yet. Anything can happen in the future.
China will also absolutely want authoritarianism to be spread and have their fingers in the data of all countries they trade with. The west is no different. They have been trying to get Apple to give them full access to any iPhone on the planet, even those belonging to people who have never left their hometowns and never will in countries nowhere near the UK. How is this better than what China wants?
