      Not gonna watch the video right now, but China fulfills every category to be an imperialist country.

      They are expansionist by nature, claiming Taiwan, they use their money to extend their influence, the so called soft power, they lend money to weak countries that want to develop infrastructure with the condition that if they don’t pay the money china gets the infrastructure. That is an aggressive expansionist activity.

        not gonna hear other opinions

        gonna stick to my opinions

        Yep, sounds like it. Backfire theory. Learn about imperialism, capitalism and socialism first before making such uneducated comments.

        expansionist, claim Taiwan

        Buddy, Taiwan is a separatist region, not a country. For a state to be a country, it has to be a de jure sovereignty. Taiwan is a de facto state. Ever heard Taiwan declaring independence, or being recognised as a country by a majority of countries in UN, let alone just 15 countries?

        if they don’t pay the money china gets the infrastructure

        Can you explain the 87 cases of debt freed or restructured by China to other countries, in that case? Or are you going to pick on 1 case of Hambantota, like most dishonest people do, where Sri Lankan firm still has 30% shares of the port?
