Every country acting in its own best interest, US is not unique in this regard

wait until you find out that China also acting the same way toward the rest of the world (surprise pikachu face)

This does not make any sense to me. “There”? “‘Nationalist’ () bans” of and by whom?

Dark propaganda opposed to what, light propaganda? The Chinese model being released is about keeping China down?

You seem very animated about this, but you would probably have more success if you tried to clarify this a bit more.

  • Incredible how "keeping their people down" means leaps in personal wealth and happiness for huge swathes of the population and internal criticism is that it is a "poverty reduction machine" that is too focused.

    • If they had a government like Taiwan they would be significantly wealthier. Their government is a drag and should not steal credit from the actual people who made that wealth with their hard work and entrepreneurship.

    • They're not mutually exclusive. Lots of terrible and mismanaged governments rely on genius short-term economic exploitation, like Syria, Iran, India, Korea, etc.

      What would be incredible is China sticking the landing to a third-sector economy. Plenty of countries have industrialized over the past century, only a handful became true service economies.
