You're the one talking about the weak serving the strong and you're lecturing me about ego? LOL! I'm flabbergasted. What am I entitled to? I'm talking about respect and you're talking about everyone serving the new Chinese emperors. You're the one with the entitlement my man. China is rising but it's not quite there yet, it still has a uphill task and the west is busy trying to kneecap it so I don't know where the arrogance comes from. The west is already pissed off at China, its neighbors are weary but you think this arrogance isn't going to piss off the world? You think people are somehow beholden to China because its builds infrastructure? Young man, sit down. You're lucky your diplomats don't act like you, nobody is going to serve China or pay it tribute, sorry that era is finished. You can come at us with respect or go away. No more colonial attitude, China of all places should understands this.
LOL! I feel like I'm talking to a Jai Hind already. Thanks for revealing to everyone here what a moron you are.
First of all, China today never demands servitude nor tribute. And I have never advocated for China to do that. You're making stuff up. Because you're being sussed out for being a moron.
Second, dealing with the Global South is not a popularity contest. You're thinking like one of those idiot entitled voters, demanding free handouts for votes. China comes to the Global South for business first. Charity maybe, but always business first. China offers things that the Global South sorely needs like infrastructure, in exchange for cash or natural resources. But to you that's Chinese style neo-colonialism right? No actually, its just business. But if you still don't like it, you can just walk away. China is not gonna force you to take its deal with guns or sanctions. But you said you prefer the West right? You like that good old fashioned colonialism right? Then you must prefer slavery, getting paid in pennies, forced displacement, military occupation, and apartheid. Well, you're still free to ask for more of that from the West. Good luck!
There is no such thing as free lunch. If you insist on wanting free handouts, then you are free go back to begging for free aid from the UN or from charity organisations. If your nation is destitute, you can have dignity, but don't expect greater nations to come down and kiss your ass just because they need your approval. You have no divine right to demand that. China will never beg for your approval, and the West will just hijack your government anyway. Welcome to the real world. You can either make a fair deal with China, or you can always be on the menu for the West.
