If you actually have read Lenins work on the matter beyond the chapter titles, and put the analysis to work on reality, you can not in good faith come to the conclusion that China is imperialist.
It is immensly frustrating to learn how many people take the chapter titles as some sort of checklist, while obviously not having read any further. Yes, you could construct a checklist for imperialism out of the book, but it would be much more complex than just going by the chapter titles. For example "export of capital" being the title, but the chapter explains that it is importan to look for how the exported capital is used for. So just putting a check behind "export of capital" would be wholy insufficient regarding the detection of imperialism done by an analysed state.
The US has this psychotic idea since it got nukes. You stumbled over the most recent incarnation of it. A more retro version was the nuclear beheading strike: Using a small part of the nuclear arsenal to take out the leadership of the target nation to force a surrender before a full scale nuclear exchange. That was the plan against the USSR and currently against Russia(which is one of the reasons why Russia wants any sort of NATO influence gone from Ukraine).
German hospitals are being assessed for their ability to treat mass casualties, with Tiesler warning that the health system could face up to 1,000 additional patients per day in a wartime setting. Other plans include doubling the number of warning sirens nationwide, upgrading emergency apps to include missile strike instructions, and possibly introducing a national civil service requirement.
Thanks to decades of neoliberalism, our hospitals can barely handle their peacetime patients. The only good that will come of out of these decades of looting will be the total inability of germany to wage any sort of war.
they will gladly sacrifice the entire population if it lets them rule what’s left to be “pure”.
They outright said said so in the 30s and 40s.
edit: To the downvoter - the cited part is basically a quote from Roman Shukhevych, one of the OUN leaders. Turns out your "jabba utini" heroes are nazis.
Remember when he oepened the arsenals to the public and all hell broke lose? Or when he got humiliated trying to order the nazis to stop shelling civilians? Super hero shit!
say I grant the violent incursion on tibetan land as “liberation” (which I do not)
So you love slavery. Good start.
that would still leave the Sino-Indian
India dicked around, China put them to their place and the war ended in extremely amicable terms.
Sino-Vietnamese wars
There was one (1), so no "wars"(plural), a war(singular).
It was a limited border conflict because Vietnam and the PRC ended on different sides of the the Sino-Soviet split.
Were they maybe not long enough?
They happened before the timframe covered by the picture. Tibet happend under Mao, as did the Sino-Indian one. The war against Vietnam happened under Deng. The timeframe covered by the pic is post-Deng. Since then the PRC did, factually, not wage any war.
Isn'treal finally calling itself "scum of the earth". Late, unexpected, but welcome.
