#militaryexpansionism — Public Fediverse posts

☝️ The *victims* of the regime might be forgiven (option not available inside the empire) if they fail to appreciate the scattered unofficial nostalgia for a leading supporting cadre who served as the Party's 'premier' for a decade while, well, 'stuff' kept happening to them.

Maybe, just maybe comrade Li would have been less extreme as the supreme leader, but isn't that entire point moot since all he really ended up *doing* was rubberstamping the #XiJinping's policies we've all come to love and appreciate?

The #PRC/#CCP stopped "biding time" a decade ago and comrade Li was right in the middle of it as supreme leader's number 2.

@davidonformosa ☝️ Who would've thunk! Let's give 🇨🇳 a top seat at the UN and UNSC with full veto powers, and just to make sure, control of key UN agencies too!

“For peace in our time, a Chinese dictatorship empowered with growing economy is in everybody's best interests...“

Paraphrasing US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo at #jinping's court. 🤷🏻‍♂️

☝️💡️IDEA: I would *really* like to see an authentic map showing only the locations of *ancestral homes* of Han Chinese clans... 🧐

Yet the "non-market tools" of CCP's #nationalsocialist command economy weren't its most powerful weapon against free market democracies.

#CCP's most powerful tool was, and still remains, the *market fools*.

Business with hostile, genocidal dictatorships may be profitable to those in that business, but the cost to this most benevolent of human experiments — democracy — is unthinkable.

What is #democracy without #ethics? Seriously?

And the worry is "punitive actions that have been taken against U.S. firms in recent months”? 👀

@whatshappeninginchina

If should be finally realized that the #dictatorships of #China and #russia reinforce each others' #imperialist views and ambitions.

Mao's power grab and military expansionism were inspired and made possible by #Soviet and in particular #Stalin's material support.

Putin saw that the #CCP could engage in #militaryexpansionism without any consequences, so... Hello Ukraine! (and others)

Who benefits from empowering dictators and autocrats?

@martijnbraam

And before engaging further, one could ask:

"Is this a product from the #dictatorship ecosystem, or is it from the #democratic ecosystem?"

Or one could just not care because "it's not *me* they're repressing" and "what's the harm in joining their technology projects"...

NB. The #CCP has deemed technological independence one of the key milestones in achieving their *objectives*.
