Yea the only reason they haven't attacked the UK or the us is because they are ether worried that they might actually be able to fight back or they just haven't gotten around to it yet

Luckily us that US, and UK have a history of respecting everyone's territory lol.

I cant understand how someone can see China as a threat but not US, UK or France, the 3 biggest colonial states right now (only if you are north-american, then I can understand).

Countries from South America and Africa are right now receiving technology from China, what was constantly denied by Europe and US to keep us as modern colonies, maybe this is why ppl from rich countries are so afraid of Communism

Yeah, sure, but don't whine and complain to the US and Europeans when you are being surveilled, dehumanised and slaughtered in the future either by the Chinese themselves or by your corrupt, "democratically elected" leaders bribed by the PRC with its slave labour money. The "West" has certainly done some terrible things to the peoples of this world in the past - especially during colonialism - but compared to modern China or its "best buddies" (Russia, Iran, North Korea and all the other current autocratic fuckers in the world), (i) most of its citizens and officials have at least given up on imperialistic and national chauvinistic thinking and ideology and (ii) are not constantly trying to violently revise the legal international order (Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Tibet, South China Sea, etc.) by any violent or covert means possible!

To avoid unnecessary discussion, I would like to point out that I fully recognise the West's illegitimate and unethical interference in the second and third world in the past and present. But two wrongs do not make a right - every nation, power or entity is still subject to the same rules, norms and principles!
