I extended beyond the last 2 decades, I just kept it to 2 decades initially because it's the most relevant for our discussion. The PRC has not "gone to war" with pretty much everyone around them, with the exception of Vietnam, in the last 50 years. They do not support terrorist groups, and they have not slaughtered millions of their own people. They do not strip their population of basic freedoms, the opposite is true, and they do not force Han supremacy, they have higher rates of minority representation than the west does. They are not imperialist, they do not use financial capital to dominate the global south and expropriate vast amounts of wealth, nor is Chinese culture "soulless."

Your whole comment is entirely uncited, and veers into being wildly racist by calling Chinese culture soulless.

As for quality of life, I didn't expect you to go fully mask-off and justify imperialism, but holy shit you just outright called it an "irrelevant excuse." If I point out that Elon Musk has a better quality of life than I do because of vast amounts of wealth stolen from the working class, that's somehow irrelevant and Elon is good in your eyes? This is monstrous behavior. Do some self-crit and see how the west plunders the global south.
