But controlling the planet is an american concept. They frame China as a competitor and China react with absurd misunderstanding because they're not seeing each other and the planet the same way.
Here in China (Im an imigrant), what matters is the forced march to progress at all cost, even human rights, under the guidance of the glorious leader Xi. Nobody in the party or the population gives a flying fuck about invading countries and all international propaganda is made not to submit to China as an individual but to repeat the glorious mission statement for the party internal work when speaking only about China. I disagree with the party's method because they forget that we ll pay the price of the crunch once the middle class is emancipated and need to start being politically responsible: as long as we ask monkeys to program computers we wont expand so we need to accept having free citizens or to not progress.
However the US truly aim at facilitating the expansion of its companies via cultural assimilation, MUCH more than what China does now (it could come later ofc), and entire countries are transformed via soft propaganda (movies and such) to adapt and start consuming american products that wouldnt matter otherwise. It's better than the Camps in Xinjian, but the camps are IN Xinjian, not in Normandy where I grew up under american influence.
So meh, balance. Both should compete until the end of time so they leave us alone.
- demadog 5y agoOne is forced, the other is chosen. For the most part global citizens choose to watch Netflix and Disney and listen to Lil Wayne. Different story with internment camps. Put another way, Americans listen to K-pop and watch Parasite because it’s good and they want to.
- TheTester 5y ago>people choose to have the CIA do a coup in their country
- GhettoComputers 5y agoI don't agree exactly with this. People in the west need to use VPNs to bypass bans, Chinese do too. Choice is said to be done of free will, but what is free will, and if you don't think outside influences can affect it, I disagree. If I have a subscription to videos, I am being given an illusion of choice, they are serving me what they choose for me, that is the same effect in China. Spotify, Apple, Pandora, Deezer, and Youtube are made of algorithms that give you their choices, you don't really have a choice, and now that YT took away dislike, its harder to even affect it. >Put another way, Americans listen to K-pop and watch Parasite because it's good and they want to. People listen to kpop because its played everywhere, its recommended in playlists, others play it, not because its good or they want to.

Nobody does. > People listen to kpop because its played everywhere, its recommended in playlists, others play it, not because its good or they want to. So everyone is recommending this music to their friends and playing it... but they don't think it's good. Something here doesn't add up.
