China is probably the first “empire” in world’s history to succeed without conquest and plunder of other nations.
Everyone else from the Romans to Mongolians and Ottomans to Europeans (Spanish, Dutch, French, British) and Americans… have relied on exploitation of others.
The American Empire is more sophisticated in hiding its brutality, conquest, and exploitation. It’s done thru neoliberalism, banks, debt, corporations, media, wars etc.
Of course, China’s large population helped in terms of labor, but managing one billion+ people itself is a great achievement.
中国可能是世界历史上第一个不靠征服和掠夺其他国家而取得成功的“帝国”。
从罗马人到蒙古人,从奥斯曼人到欧洲人(西班牙人、荷兰人、法国人、英国人)和美国人……其他国家都靠剥削他人起家的。
美利坚帝国极为老练地隐藏其残暴、征服和剥削的本性。他们通过新自由主义、银行、债务、公司、媒体、战争等方式掠夺其他国家的财富
当然,中国庞大的人口,大量劳动力,也发挥了作用,但管理10多亿人口本身就是一项伟大的成就。

There's so much we Westerners don't know about China that it's hard often and sometimes to debate because we have no knowledge what so ever.
All we know is what we see in our indoctrinating so called news. Which are mainly false ofc.
我们西方人对中国不大了解,我们从来不了解中国,也就无从辩论
我们所知道的中国,就是我们在自己国家新闻中看到的。然而这些报道是假的。

A former UN ambassador Kishore said, while in US, he feel so isolated from the rest of the world, their media propaganda brainwashed their society into living in a cocoon.
前联合国大使基肖尔说,在美国的时候,他感到与世界其他地区隔绝,他们的媒体给民众洗脑,让美国民众生活在信息茧房中

Same with Iran. I am in a group chat with some normie conservative friends and recently one randomly asked if any of us had ever seen photos of Tehran. He asked because he had and was shocked that it was a modern city with modern technology.
伊朗也是如此。我和一些保守派朋友群聊,最近有人问我们是否看过德黑兰的照片。他发现德黑兰是一座现代化城市后震惊了,所以才会这样发问!

China has restored its empire. For 5,000 years China was the largest economy on Earth. Then came great difficulties in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Through extraordinary leadership and hard work of its people, China is now back on top. Peacefully.
中国正在复兴。5000年来,中国一直是世界上最大的经济体。只不过在19世纪和20世纪初落后了。通过非凡的领导和人民的辛勤工作,中国现在又回到了顶峰。

Correct .. Thats why we can learn from History. And ... civilization came from the east! Arabs and Chinese as well as steppe peoples were far ahead in knowledge than western man. even the Greeks, as the oldest western civilization, were formed from influence from the east
对的。
我们可以从历史中得到教训。文明源自东方!以前,阿拉伯人、中国人和草原民族掌握的知识,远远比西方人更多。
作为最古老的西方文明,就连希腊也是受东方影响而形成的
Matti
Incorrect, Greece was influenced by Egypt
说得不对,希腊是受到埃及的影响
