I like this but disagree because China is definitely doing way more than nothing. Not just anyone can build up their productive forces and navigate an extremely hostile international environment.
Exactly. they’ve been manufacturing a ton of commodities for European and Amerikkkan consumers for decades. It only looks like they’re “doing nothing” because the labor of 2nd and 3rd world countries is always made invisible to 1st worlders by the obfuscation of international trade and resale practices.
And the international aid and solidarity they’ve shown through infrastructure projects, low/no interest rate loans, international organizations etc which undermine imperialism and are working to create an equitable alternative system of global trade are all huge too

Glad to see you again outside of Discord.
