"We perpetuate systemic crimes against humanity but the real crime is in calling that out."

One of things I have found is that the hubris of imperialism and colonialism means they openly admit their crimes and write it down in their newspapers, books and webpages, and in this day and age video themselves doing the crime. I first discovered this for myself when I was younger reading about British Imperialism against India; they were essentially boasting back to the base that they shouldn't let go of India in the Scramble for Africa.

This is a thing that exists (and the wikipedia article is written with no self-awareness including no arguments from black communists or any historical context including America's segregation and subjugation of black peoples being one of the chief inspirations for Nazi Germany):

This time around the Russian economy made more signifcant gains and inadvertently - from USAmerican perspective - helped forge closer ties with China and the seeds of an alternative economic block with the Global South outside of Western control; the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazhan being an important example of this.

Zionism is chiefly a secular project. For example, Herzl was infamously anti-semitic against religious eastern European jews.

Thank you once again for sharing.

His channel has excellent insights and well put together. Short, easily digestable, well cited and nicely presented along with often beautiful drone photography of China at the end. Thank you yogthos for introducing this channel.

He is a business analyst who sees through the western media smokescreen, the destructiveness of the western military indsutrial complex, the gains China has made, and the sophistication of how China develops out of poverty and builds out diplomacy. He clearly either lives in China or visits often and has first hand experience.

However, he is an excellent example of how deep Western delusion runs.

What is the reason he believes China is winning? Christianity. He claims this from a positive perspective. The language he uses to explain international trade diplomacy alludes to imperialism from a historical context (remember he does not appear to have marxist understanding of capital) in the link to the video attached, with a Chinese Christian twist of the White Man's Burden as he sees it. He also alludes to why other communist countries have failed in his eyes; their godlessness. It is almost as if it is from another channel. It is amazing that China's strategy can win loyalty even from these kinds of people. The video in question:

It is a common theme from liberal analysts who see China in a positive light; the reason for success is anything but marxism-leninsm.

The efficiency of implementation of socialism in China is a remarkable achievement in human history; given limited resources and the pitfalls of attempting to propagate revolutionary agitprop abroad they have decided to instead focus on prioritising mutually beneficial material gains. It is such a powerful force in itself that no resources needed to be wasted in further propaganda; peoples with all sorts of bourgoisie narratives will still promote you if they perceive a benefit for themselves (case in point: the youtuber described)!

I used to think along the lines of if only these people knew the truth!; the perspective of brainwashing that I outlined is a relatively new understanding and point of learning for me.

I wonder if China will pull critical supply chains (or just threaten) to the west before it gets to a hot war. I'm not sure how the west including the US will sustain any large enough manufacturing and production without critical inputs from the global south.

But then again they may be just MAD enough to do it:
