Unlike China, India’s entire population, elites and commoners, were imperialized for a significant period, and by the British, no less. That trauma, and its consequent repetitive trauma patterns will take more than a century to overcome! Just like we Black folks in the Anglosphere, it’s one thing to take your independence from a empire, it’s another to have your “freedom” or independence given to you!
So true bro, you have to fight to get what you want BUT for the Indians They're whites anyway so why upset the apple cart. ;)

Let's see what China wish to achieved, The rejuvenation of the country and its culture.

While that of India is to return to the glory of British Raj.

See the big difference.;)

It is funny that the comments said that SCMP is Xi's controlled media just because it said something positive about BRI and refuted fake propaganda of debt trap investment. SCMP probably is one of the most anti-China media out there.

Tanzanian ambassador to China Mbelwa Kairuki also rejected the "debt-trap" claim in an interview with the state-owned tabloid Global Times in June, saying most African debts were owed to other countries and institutions.

The dividing line between humans and animals is not that you can bow down to the strong, as some certain countries are so fond of demonstrating. Wolves and dogs bow down to their alpha after all.

The dividing line is how you treat others weaker than you.

In Wandering Earth 2, there was a scene where Zhou Zhezhi gives a speech about how they unearthed a mended legbone from 10000 BC, showing that humans were already capable of compassion in the stone age, since in other animals, they never found a mended legbone - wounded animals just starved to death because they couldn't forage and hunt anymore.

2000 years of learning from China, yet some countries have not learned the most fundamental of human ideas - 仁义.
Technically they only learned for about 200 years, and then decided they could graduate on their own.

The Japanese missions to Imperial China were

which were intermittently sent to the Chinese imperial court. Any distinction amongst diplomatic envoys sent from the Japanese court or from any of the Japanese shogunates was lost or rendered moot when the ambassador was received in the Chinese capital.

Extant records document missions to China between the years of 607 and 839 (a mission planned for 894 was cancelled). The composition of these imperial missions included members of the

Bespoke:
China cities are not growing because they

"Urbanisation in China is unfinished, furnishing expenditure as a percentage of disposable income is still lower than in Japan, the US and India..."

Perhaps that simply means furnishing costs in those countries are over the top and Chinese are enjoying the lower costs in China.

Not sure where exactly to put this. However, this has been debated for quite a while on the web, do you call it a copycat of the Defender?

Only because the west and the soviet union were equals in many ways, that that each saw the other as equals in many fields.

The Europeans do not see Africans as equals. The European interest is explicitly counter to African interests. Anything that seems otherwise is simply gilded chains.

One day, when Europeans see Africans as equals, then there will be interests that happen to align.
I think the common mistake people make is that they believe African countries have the same interests, they don't. Even in West Africa the countries there haven't always agreed. Nigeria's interests is to remain the big brother in West Africa (well at least historically). This is the reason why even under military rule it sought intervention in Sierra Leone, Liberia, etc. Using it's military to remove and safe guard regimes it dislikes and favors respectively. It just so happens that Nigeria's interest and the west's interests align on this Niger issue, nothing more nothing less. Has nothing to do with being a puppet. If anything France has never liked that an English speaking country is the dominant force in West Africa where it has the most African colonies (this is why it supported the Biafran separatists in the Nigerian civil war). So I don't understand how Nigeria can be a puppet.

People here understand Africa a lot better than you believe. Africa is not some closed-off alien planet. People have visited, talked to the people on the ground, talked to the elites in the government. Don't pretend you're the only one who can speak for Africa, there are many who have, and we hear them.
Nigeria's interests is to remain the big brother in West Africa (well at least historically).
If they destroy their neighbors to make their neighbors easy pray to the west, then it is not in their interest. If anything, Nigeria should step up and help their neighbors shake off imperialism. That would make them the big brother of Africa. You do not sell your younger brothers to slavery, even if you can get a good price for them!

Western interests do not align on this Niger issue with Nigeria for the very simple fact that a western-controlled Niger will be a base for the west to attack (whether overt or covert) Nigeria should Nigeria ever step out of line. If Nigeria's interests include sovereignty in the long term, then their interests do not align with Frances'.

Superficial issues, lol. They are the black friend a white supremacist has to be able to say "I can't be racist, I have black friends!"
