The so called west is rotten inside and has not progressed beyond repackaged colonialism: lies, cheat, swindle, threaten and attack.

The concept of win-win or mutual development is not in the western dictionary at all. Anyone on the planet developing and thriving is a “threat” and an enemy.

The entire industry of talk about sustainability and global development that permeates the is just gaslighting- the western oligarchs don’t actually believe in this at all. Sustainable development, they have no money for. Eradicating poverty, not a penny. But endless war? As much money as you like and as long as it takes. Even all the way into nuclear hail fire.

They would like to think they are more advanced or “civilised” but really they are just pillaging high tech savages. No respect or love for the planet, nor its people.

Ports like this are extremely dangerous to US economic power. China has a large export capacity, currently the US is their largest trading partner. By developing capacity of the Global South to take up China's excess output, it lessens China's need to unload it's manufacturing to the US. And, if not a large trading partner with the US, China would no longer have any motivation to buy US debt.
