  If chinese security services had assassinated democratically-elected representatives like French/US services have DOZENS of times since WWII, i assume we'd know. (Although they have militarily invaded a few areas such as Tibet) Investing in debt and huge infrastructure projects is indeed a more discreet and stable way of getting a hold of a country than plainly invading it. It's a form of economic colonization, but as much as i hate it it's orders of magnitude less bloody than the self-proclaimed "civilizing mission" our western countries are perpetuating to this day. To be clear, i'm not a fan of the chinese regime, at all. Or any imperialist regime for that matter. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of western propaganda in regards to chinese activities. That is, i'm refusing to choose a side in the next world war they're preparing. No war between peoples, no peace between classes!
