The vast majority of the China supporters in this forum do not consider China a developed nation. We are not the same as the Jai Hinds. We praised China's achievements and resilience, but we are not delusional to proclaim that China have becomed a developed nation. Still, why should we not be proud when China had achieved so much, even when it is still a developing nation?
The Chinese leadership, do not practice self-glorification like their counterparts in India. They are happy with what their nation had achieved, but they never consider China a developed nation. When Trump dropped China from the US's own list of developing nations, the Chinese government was livid. I'm confident that even if China achieves developed nation status by every conceivable metric, the Chinese leadership would still consider China a developing nation. It's because they want to avoid the pitfalls of the Qing Dynasty and the Western leaders. Because once you consider your nation's development to be complete, bad things start to happen. It starts with complacency, then arrogance, and then finally delusional insanity. Under the leadership of the CPC, China will continuously develop, no matter it's development level.
What most of the China supporters in this forum are very upset about is the efforts by the West and it's lackeys to stop China's development today. We know what the West ultimately wants to do with China. That is why we despise anyone saying that China must kowtow to the West. This is exactly what the West wants. They want China to submit to them. Just like the late Qing Dynasty, the ROC, Japan, South Korea, and Russia in the past. The moment China submits to the West, they will do their utmost to colonize, bully, humiliate, impoverish, and finally break it up. It is an existential matter for China. We and China will never accept submission to the West, no matter their threats and coercion. That is why we support the modernization of the PLA and the expansion of China's nuclear deterrence. So that the West can never resort to war to put China down.
You argued that the West has the upper hand in this cold war with China. No they don't. Not anymore since 2018. They once had the upper hand when Trump initiated the Trade War. What they have never considered was the resilience and ingenuity of the Chinese people. They used every tool in their kit short of open warfare to push China down. China went through some truly horrible times from 2018 - 2022. Trade war, HK riots, Covid, hostile neighbours, etc. Yet after all that, it's the West that came out weaker.
So it's not wrong to praise China and call the arrogant West out. Wumaos are not Jai Hinds, period. It's insulting to be compared with that pathetic group of morons and degenerates.
