China is building hegemony over Europe and Africa by their Belt and Road Initiative. See https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brookings-now/2019/05/17/charts-of-the-week-chinas-belt-and-road-initiative/
China has built out European trade channels and built infrastructure in Africa to access their natural resources. Chinese state-owned enterprises hold ownership stakes in terminals at five U.S. ports. No wars. No military intervention.
That is what we need to replicate.
Isn’t that called colonialism? (but I agree with you.)
Sure. But done in a capitalistic way. Not at the end of a rifle barrel. Not with religious motives.
Chinese colonialism is good … as contrasted to European colonialism which was evil because it involved religion?
Well, yes. So far. Forcing religion on people -- Catholic, evangelical, Muslim, whatever -- never seems to quite reach the anticipated goal. Good ole capitalism always moves the needle. Give people jobs, roads, housing, agriculture, and health. It makes for a commonwealth.
Like I often do, I think you have oversimplified things …
Occam’s Razor.
