    So its OK then that France did that? You can’t excuse one instance of imperialism and complain about another. All Imperialism is bad, regardless of who is doing it to whom.

      I’m not excusing anything. I’m just looking at targeted blame. China is the most terrible country for everything it does. Just don’t look anywhere else, especially not the allies of the west.

        Oh make no mistake , France is still enforcing Neocolonialism in its “former” colonies. Its just that I see to many people (eee lemmy.ml) handwaive Chinas awful actions away because bad stuff happened before, and that logic only ever leads to things never getting better.
