China’s investments aren’t for anything other than the growth of its hegemonic power through the strategic control of satellite states. The carrot is easier than the stick and has better optics. However China can and will stomp out any geopolitical threat within its area of influence even if it is diametrically opposed to whatever the citizens of said state want. It is a superpowerful police state with global ambitions. The global south isn’t breaking free. It’s selling itself to China.
The Belt and Road Initiative is certainly benefiting China, but it’s a win-win situation. China isn’t planting millitary bases anywhere, and isn’t forcing the global south to sell out their autonomy. It is not a police state, nor does it have global ambitions of hegemony.
What world do YOU live in? Who has been putting dictatorships EVERYWHERE in the global south, who has bombed Yugoslavia, southwest Asia and North Africa, Vietnam? Who has kidnapped the president of Venezuela? Who has been carrying out genocides against indigenous people and terrorizing black and other POC, and now even white liberals?
I guess I’m supposed to start weeping after your meek appeal for me to look inward. Whatever your motivation was is almost certainly something I cogently and with full knowledge disagree with.
