    Western world waking up to Beijing's bullying

    https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/we...12-p5647l.html

    "Beijing's behaviour has alarmed a score of countries that would have preferred to turn a blind eye and simply accept Chinese trade and investment. China's elites have noticed the backlash: "It would be better if China had been more low-key and humble," a prominent commentator, Shen Dingli of Fudan University in Shanghai, told the New York Times."

    Well - let's not encourage them...but you may be right if the criticism is public, shutting down free speech in small Western nations...

    https://asiatimes.com/2020/10/losing...s-imperialism/

    "In contrast to colonialism, the direct rule and economic exploitation of colonies by great powers, imperialism directly or indirectly imposes international trade rules by way of military power and strategic arms. These rules then ensure that the economic surplus flows toward the imperialist power. The US has maintained its economic and political domination in the world by adopting imperialism.
    For example, the Plaza Accord destroyed the Japanese economy in the 1990s. The rate of expansion of the Japanese economy had been much higher than that of the US. Japan’s manufacturing was leading exports internationally, and the country was now the second-largest economy.
    To remain an uncontested superpower, the US needed to halt Japan’s economic growth. Washington initiated the Plaza Accord negotiations, and the US, Germany, France, the UK, and Japan signed the accord. Tokyo was cowed into compliance by the US military presence in Japan.
    The Plaza Accord was highly influential in the Japanese economy. It led to the Japanese asset price bubble of the late 1980s and ultimately to the lost decade starting from the early 1990s. "
