corruption happened and was bad but that was also the era of Maximum Exploitation due to china's underdeveloped economy. the cpc can't just throw all the billionaires in jail now that the country is advancing to the end of the primary stage of socialism (though everyone except urban elites would love it if they did) so the transition has to happen gradually to maintain stability

Fun fact: I work in an industry that loses a lot of manufactured chemicals and my bosses have been absolutely scrambling the past few months because China has been enforcing their environmental regulations hardcore recently, so we can no longer source cheap chemicals based on the suffering of third worlders

I guarantee you that factory managers will end up staging a coup in China ala the soviet union, before it ever transitions to socialism

It's so far off the mark to be farcical either way. China prefers to make business deals with the African nations it's involved with. There's no overt coercion.That's a bit different than the gunboat diplomacy of Victorian era Germany, and a huge difference from the genocidal policies of Imperial Japan. You can say it's exploitive, but it's really rather civil compared to any imperial power

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:Isn’t that bog-standard modern colonialism? Nah, look at the middle east to see modern day colonialism The simple truth is that a lot of African nations don't like or trust the West and would rather do business with China. It's being done through soft economic power, there's no permanent settlers, and nobody's getting coerced militarily It ain't colonialism, by any stretch of the imagination

Now if you want to make an argument for China engaging in colonialism, presumably because you want to own Greaves or Unruhe. I would look inwards at regions like Xinjiang and Tibet. You can build a much stronger colonialism case there than China's business in Africa. Btw Greaves wont read your argument and will dismiss it out of hand, so you are wasting your time

There's a difference between economic neo-colonialism and the kind maintained with armies/settlers. China just built a naval base in Djibouti last year so we might be approaching the latter I'd argue that Sudan is a good case of Chinese/Western imperialist rivalries, as China armed/supported Omar al-Bashir and shielded him as he was committing genocide in Darfur, whereas the U.S. among others tried to exploit the image of the genocide to make China look bad Now with all that being said, it still is mostly soft power we're dealing with here. China has the ideological advantage of being able to portray itself as a country founded on third world anti-imperialism vis-a-vis the historical exploitation of western powers. American aid of Latin America and anti-Spanish liberation movements (and a common anti-European "American" heritage) put it in a similar position during the 1800s, hence why the Monroe Doctrine looked so anti-imperialist when it was written compared to the precedent it set

Western colonialism was kind of its own thing given in a lot of places, the idea was basically to recreate the feudal structure that had broken down in the homeland, with the natives as the underclasses and serfs to the European lords, where the displaced nobility could recreate their ancestral lifestyle at a fraction of the price. At least I remember reading about that kind of thing in India, and it makes a lot of sense given the nature of Apartheid Rhodesia and South Africa.

Chinese neocolonialism isn't any different from US neocolonialism, in that is all econonic and based in giving loans, and then servicing that debt with exclusive mineral rightsand such, buying out corrupt officials, etc. Alot of the Chinese gifts in terms of stadiums are made with loans from Chinese banks, and the econonic development it does finance (railways tec.) to other countries, tend to curiously be focused on getting minerals to a port (and therefore China) as fast as possible, and does nothing to develop the entire country as a whole. Homeex, of course, would have already tediously explained all this, to everyone itt, with some shitpost, if we were talking about the US, but curiously he's silent on the subject when it comes to china... rudatron has issued a correction as of 06:42 on Apr 1, 2018 |

Also China has a tendency to bring in their own workers, from China, you actually build all this stuff, meaning its as much an employment program for unemployed Chinese, and of course none of that money circulates in the local economy
