    “China is only lifting their entire population out of poverty because this helps them achieve a more powerful global hegemony.”

    Okay so even if that WAS somehow true, shouldn’t this be evidence that it’s an effective strategy that Western nations should adopt? They’re basically complaining that China has created a more effective strategy than them and rather than implementing it themselves or trying to improve on it they’re just complaining about it. Sounds like real winner mentality to me!

      My favorite variant of this is “The CPC is only developing China to improve the lives of its people so that they’ll see the CPC as legitimate!”

      Congratulations, writer. You’ve discovered democracy.
