Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

One of the things attractive about China's aid is that much of the time it involves little changes in the receiving government's policies. China is aiding many reactionary and corrupt countries develop. It's going to be pretty difficult to efficiently propagandize leaders and citizens that China is trying to control them when they're not making any strict demands like the US. Of course, the west can always cause instability instead of installing pro-US governments. They can back an idiot who can only see short term and embezzle all the funds to himself and end up getting killed and cause civil wars, or continue funding jihadists and ethnic conflicts; a war torn country that can't take any side is better than one that side with China, and even then the US and Eruope will be the only ones who are enthusiastic about military intervention, so they can take control while China stays far from it.
Yeah, that's exactly my concern. That the US would rather watch the entire world collapse rather than allow these countries to develop in any way.
