Ah, the no true leftist argument, I have never seen this before. Leftist doesnt mean perfect, yeah they have issues. They also happen to be the left leaning powerhouse, and that’s one step closer to international communism that is powerful enough to properly address these issues, not capitalists that are playing the oppressed classes.
I wouldn’t call an imperialist nation “left leaning”. To me it’s like when the Nazis called themselves socialists. But anyway I guess we will have different perspectives on this.
Wanting to invade Taiwan, claiming all of the Spratly and Paracel islands. And as I said there is other behaviour which I don’t think is “left leaning”, such as locking up Uyghurs in camps.
How does not invading on of your closest neighbors make you an empire? How does claiming the islands very close to you while not invading them make you an empire? If you can make this make sense I’m listening. Also, Isreal isnt an empire just because it’s genociding people, so even if they were genociding, that wouldnt make one an empire. Show me the empirical evidence (lol)
Yeah I dunno, how does planning an invasion to expand your land make you imperial. I’m stumped. As for locking up Uyghurs, I didn’t say that’s imperialist behaviour, I said it’s behaviour that I don’t think is “left leaning”. I guess you could call it tyrannical behaviour.
I don’t know for how long they may have planned it. But I think it’s likely that they would have created some sort of plans for an invasion of Taiwan, based on their statements where they say they don’t rule out force to take over Taiwan. From this article:
Peng Qing’en, a spokesperson for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, told a regular news conference in Beijing that peaceful “reunification” under the “one country, two systems” model is the fundamental approach to “resolving the Taiwan issue”.
“We are willing to create ample space for peaceful reunification and will spare no effort to pursue this prospect with the utmost sincerity,” he said.
“However, we absolutely will not renounce the use of force and reserve the option to take all necessary measures.”
Not renouncing the use of force is entirely different than exercising it, which they haven’t. This would be like calling the US imperialist because it wouldn’t accept the south from succeeding pre-civil war. How
China’s top official in charge of Taiwan policy, the ruling Communist Party’s fourth-ranked leader Wang Huning, did not mention force in a key policy speech on Saturday, which instead focused on how both sides would benefit from “reunification”.
So they aren’t even threatening it, just not ruling it out. Again, not very imperialistic.

Can you give examples of their imperialism? I dont remember them invading anywhere in my memory, but maybe I am forgetting?

How long have they been planning it? Can you send a relevant source I could see? Maybe they are, I just haven’t seen your source yet
