    Do I believe China is engaging in a campaign of global intimidation? Heck, I’d be more surprised if they weren’t.

    Why do you believe this?

      Big empire does big empire things. They’re not as bad as the world police for most countries, mostly seeking economic dominance and lucrative trade relations. However, they are fundamentally motivated by imperialist interests and are much harsher in their sphere of influence.

        That’s a Wikipedia article that cites Radio Free Asia, The US Government and western funded think tanks. I would call that about as trustworthy as you would call DPRK state media. Also I didn’t ask you.
