So how is this in any way relevant to the article? How does it make anything of that any better or worse? What reaction do you expect from this? What are we supposed to take away from such comments? I honestly don't get it. It's neither news, nor does it add anything to the context. The only thing it does for me is to point away from the topic at hand starting a completely new one. What's the point of that?
PS. it's not "once" like in "one time" but "once" like in "once upon a time". But somehow I'm sure you knew that already.

- Krasnol 8y agoSo why did you use it and not answer any of my questions?
- chrischen 8y agoThey still do it, even more so than once upon a time. Iraq, Pakistan, overthrowing regimes vis CIA while partnering with Drug cartels, forcing out Iran’s regime, forcing other countries to cut off Iran after forcing out Iran’s regime, using Israel to project military power in the Middle East, cutting off aid if countries legalize certain drugs. These are all soft power projections that have similar effects to the “modern colonizing” of China. There’s no hard evidence that the lending and infrastructure projects are bad. But somehow it seems that unless China donates a free pair of shoes for every pair of shoe sold to destroy the local shoe economy, it must be bad? Donations are bad, but true business deals are what’s required, and they may not appear purely altruistic because they aren’t.
