The History of China

i think i actually like a lot of the kind of hard left critiques of empire because there's, you know, this sort of classical liberal strain in american form policy. But at the end of the day, as mao said, power comes from barrel of a gun,. And if china is able to use weapons and force to get its way, we can have all the cultural power nd ideological power but it ain't goin to matter cause people ultimately are going to wan to live. I'm anti imperial by preference,  but i would probably give up all ouro, most of our territories, oter than in the pacific islands and so forth.
