    This is the upside to China’s foreign policy of peaceful, calm economic collaboration rather than the proletarian internationalism we clamour for. As much as I’d love to see them crush the empire in a righteous conflagration, they’re continually peeling away trade partners and allies to their side. It will be successful in the long run… if the empire isn’t successful at crushing the anti-imperialist world militarily.

      peeling away allies is the only reasonable course for China. there’s no benefit for them to be the first to strike. drawing out peace for as long as possible is also beneficial for the international proletariat. it gives us all time to get into an advantageous position for when the empire is overextended and can be effectively stepped on.
