re: left/tankie views - https://twitter.com/CNguyenEc/status/1776367508133482664 https://twitter.com/CNguyenEc/status/1776371236844528086 (I personally don't think this is a mystery - the late Soviets were willing to drop 15% of their own GDP, and easily >40% of the GDP of recipient countries, in military spending. With this kind of largesse you can escalate domestic conflicts against your rivals as far as you care to do so. China has no such intentions, much to e.g. Cuba's disappointment in the late 2010s)

Also I feel like the belt and road initiative has made a lot of countries wary of Chinese aid.

Doesn’t China explicitly say it’s not their intent to export ideology in their foreign relations?

eSports Chaebol posted:Doesn’t China explicitly say it’s not their intent to export ideology in their foreign relations? China abstractly does not engage in 意识形态输出 ideological export as a longstanding communist theory idiom (i.e. 输出革命 exporting the revolution), but it does engage in 讲好中国故事 telling the China story well (不断提升中华文化影响力，把握大势、区分对象、精准施策，主动宣介新时代中国特色社会主义思想，主动讲好中国共产党治国理政的故事、中国人民奋斗圆梦的故事、中国坚持和平发展合作共赢的故事，让世界更好了解中国) This has some real and material distinctions, e.g., China remains not interested in backing communist insurgencies as it once did up to the 1980s with the Philippine/Thai/Malaysian communist parties/insurgencies ("backing" as in, supplying actual arms and funding, not just notionally supporting!). This is naturally important to countries in the region, and is reflected in conflicts which China could very easily ideologize not turning ideological (e.g., ongoing Myanmar civil war). On the other hand, when one normally says "ideological export" today we don't normally think of it in its mid 20th century sense, but instead in the sense Milanovic describes: promoting one's own ideological model as a model for success. tl; dr: when China says they "don't export ideology", they're not being disingenuous - it means something that is really different from past Chinese foreign policy - but it also doesn't mean what you might think it means There are some limitations to Nguyen's observation: it's pretty clear that e.g. the Vietnam govt looks to China to crib notes. Policy discourse in India is noticeably much less enthusiastic about Western alt-globalization discourse than it was in the 1990s. Actually, I would say Nguyen's puzzle is more applicable to Africa and Latin America. ronya fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Apr 8, 2024 |

I'm impressed that Hong Kong and Macau actually win medals. Taiwan too, but I am less surprised that they are good.

quote:WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) - China is directly subsidizing production of illicit fentanyl precursors for sale abroad and fueling the U.S. opioid crisis, a U.S. congressional committee said on Tuesday, releasing findings from an investigation it said unveiled Beijing's incentives for the deadly chemicals. I figured they just turned a blind eye to the companies manufacturing the stuff.
