- China hasn't done at least one coup in every country in South America, nor did they put literal nazis into positions of power in South American governments.
- I know, right? China with their (checks notes) building bridges, rail, ports, 5G networks, etc.
  Oh, the huge manatee.
- Please elaborate.
- ? How so?
- Why was my comment removed?
Is China asking to colonize countries in the Americas?
- They're not europe lmao, no need to project
  
  It is weird that that policy is the one mentioned.
  China could easily argue about the Roosevelt Corollary or other American foreign policies and that would be understandable. It just sounds weird that the foreign policy that China is actively arguing against is the one about foreign countries colonizing previously liberated countries in the Americas.
- Do you have numbers to back that up, or general proof behind China's trade being Imperialist, rather than cooperative, in comparison with the US?
  
  The US is not the only imperialist power.
  That is true: Always the same map
  
  You're going to need to show that you have a serious understanding here or you're going to need to stop posting on the topic in this comm.
  
  Isn't that what the US is doing pretty much everywhere in the world? And now fellow Americans are angry that another country has the same idea?
