    Do you actually think the current government is a continuation of imperialist China? Feudal China ended with the revolution. Mao was an anti-imperialist. The PRC is built from ideological opposition to all forms of imperialism.

      No.

      Do you think the current culture is cleaned entirely of what predicates it? Absolutely not.

      But go read the first comment he uses the word centuries. On that scale, China is king imperial. To this day, China still does imperial bullshit and if you don’t think they do you don’t understand how countries today exist and function.

          Lol what is this picking at semantics bullshit eh?

          You know what an imperialist is. Invader, conquerer. Kings, emperors. Controlling resources that aren’t yours through political, financial or military force.

          You gonna try to say Alexander the Great wasn’t an imperialist because the term didn’t exist then or something silly and asinine?

        So the existence of a state is evidence of imperialism? Even if the creation of that state brought a deliberate, ideologically-driven and measurable end to the imperial and feudal systems that preceded it?
