    It’s hard to tell which person in that conversation is the USA and which one is China.

    Or is it the eu, or Israel, or Russia, or……

    Oh just never mind. I’ll show myself out.

        Colonialism is so last century.

        Now it’s all about economic exploitation, backed by the threat of military force and covert manipulation of local government. It’s a much more efficient and cost effective. And when everything of value has been exploited, you can just walk away claiming they were never a colony and it’s not your problem.
