Maestro, don't forget that when China was poor and powerless back in the 1970s America was its number one role model, China wanted to become the United States, wanted to "copy" the United states by adopting Western economic tools by any means. China opened its doors to foreign capital, technology, and management skills. And effectively China today has surpassed the U.S in several domaines that originated in the U.S. For example the infrastructure of China's cities today is visibly superior than the one in NYC or San Francisco. Thats what I'm talking about, I wasn't really talking about how many wars China was globally involved in.

theone: China's foreign policy focuses on state power, economic growth, and territorial claims. How is China different from the West here? Are you still eating your "popcorn", sir?
China (PRC): Has engaged in roughly 4 major foreign or border conflicts since 1949. These include the Korean War (1950), the Sino-Indian War (1962), the Sino-Soviet border conflict (1969), and the Sino-Vietnamese War (1979). It has not launched a foreign war or large-scale invasion in over 45 years.
United States: Has been involved in dozens of declared wars, military interventions, regime-change operations, and sustained proxy or counter-terrorism conflicts globally (including major wars in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan). Estimates range from dozens of major interventions to hundreds of total military engagements abroad since its founding.

Wonder what Maestro can tell us about China not practicing its traditional revolutionary communism in its foreign affairs?? How can he trust a "good-hearted" friend of Cuba when we know China went completely "kris" yeaaars ago, actively using global capitalist markets rather than spreading a global communist revolution. China's foreign policy focuses on state power, economic growth, and territorial claims. How is China different from the West here? Are you still eating your "popcorn", sir?
I think China is playing the same imperialist game as its Western counterparts by extracting raw materials from regions like Africa while exporting finished manufactured goods, mirroring traditional patterns of economic "exploitation". Keep in mind that China has deep economic presence, infrastructure investments, and lending practices in Zambia, btw many believe that Zambia is owned by China. Also Zambia has become the first African country to accept Chinese yuan(currency) for mining taxes and royalties. WTH? LOL
See, this is what Maestro had done, he got me started when he referred to China as Cuba's friend. SMH!! LOL!! Again, China is not a friend, China is a political fox.
