I was still right. China had effectively stopped supporting communist movements in SEA since the late 1970s. Your source supports my assertion. What are you trying to argue here?
China was fortunate it did not have its own Gorbachev.
LOL have you been to China? The amount of shitlibs in plain sight is staggering.
I have, and I've been to the apparent shitlib capital on mainland China: Shanghai. I see a vast majority of people busy hustling, and couldn't give two f**ks about liberalism vs the CPC. I know where the shitlibs are, but I have no business to go looking for them. I've seen Shanghai as it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I don't put "shitlib only" filters over my eyes. As horrible as the shitlib problem is in China, I'm confident that the government and the majority of the Chinese people will put them under control. Historically, this did happen, during the Covid lockdowns.
I said that China should support proxies, pull their own coups, do their own brand of NED influence operations to ensure a cooperative government is in power. You can bet your ass that the US is willing to do these things to replace any pro-China governments.
You can bet your ass that China is already winning friends in many places without even needing to pull off coups like the US. Look at what happened in Thailand, Malaysia, and Maldives. China's had effectively created a pro-China gradient, at least in ASEAN without doing much dirty tricks. Most of it is because of US foreign policy. The US needs to continuously throw money to pull off all the dirty tricks in the book to fight against this gradient. It is getting more and more costly, and soon they're going to have trouble affording it. The PH appears to be the exception. Or is it? Not too long ago Duterte was in charge. Most Filipino voted Marcos the traitor because he lied to them that he wants to continue the Duterte-era policies.
China had a larger economy than the 8 Nations Alliance Brits during the Boxer Rebellion Opium Wars, a larger economy than Japan up until 1937. Didn't help China win those wars now did it?
Remember what I had said about comprehensive national power? You didn't read my replies properly, haven't you? Yeah I thought so. Qing Dynasty-era and Republican-era China didn't have comprehensive national power. They have a large economies, but their military power, is severely lacking. Don't compare them with the China of today. You tell me. Is Britain or Japan gonna win a one-one fight with China today?
Stop this BS already. Your ideology is a failed relic of the Cold War. If you truly believe in it, you should stop blaming others and start your very own militant communist revolution in your adopted nation right now. Maybe it might work better there.
