    China is at a point where they are powerful enough not to be directly threatened by imperialism in any major way. They've been that way for a pretty long time already. I think it is naive to ignore the power China's bourgeoisie has and to pretend like the CPC is an entity detached from society.

      Thank you! I have this argument so often with so many People. Bourgeois is bourgeois, doesn’t matter how “woke” Or afraid of punishment the Chinese ones are they aren’t going to hand over their power willingly.

            Right, because a trade war between superpowers is the same as a real war.

              Sanctions and fomenting nationalistic/religious unrest are the new tools of imperialism. Outright invasion doesn’t really work against nuclear powers. And there’s a decent chance we’ll get a proper war anyway.
