    The actions aren’t the same, though, and I explained and elaborated on why. You never engaged with it, but glossed over it.

      They are buying resources, their companies are operating there selling their products, extracting resources, having manufacturing, they’re importing their products to those countries. Those are the same.

            China builds up countries it deals with, the West keeps them underdeveloped and over-exploited. I already showed how that is, so I will not copy and paste what I already did.

              Somehow China doing the exact same business is mutually beneficial trade to uplift them both and Finland doing that business is imperialistic exploitation. Come on now friend.
