I’ll bite too. I live in the Philippines. I’m too stressed to even think about how impossibly cheap Chinese imports have displaced local industries. Walmart style.
We have a long mostly harmless history with local Chinese entrepreneurs, but I’m talking about CCP-sponsored conglomerates and drug, gambling, and troll farms planted just around metros.
It’s mostly soft power and undercover for now, but if the US isn’t looking, we’d be Belarus to Russia.
Sike it’s not all softpower, we have the fucking South China Sea.
With all due fucking respect, this is not coming from US propaganda or making shit up. This is coming from MY daily life experience as a lower class around the metro. Most of this shit are barely documented online so I’m not surprised if anything here is news to you.
Debts forgiven? Not without secret payment of land, water, and letting in CCP-owned companies. Within a decade, I can no longer buy local-grown produce from public markets, and no longer buy local-made clothes in my hometown who historically had the largest textile industry. It’s all Chinese imports and surplus.
And it’ not difficult to understand anti-CCP ≠ pro-US. Literally nothing in my comments are “projecting” or defensive of the US. The US installed the Marcoses, CCP installed the Dutertes. Now that both have seats, they’re fucking us up undercovers, scrambling for who keeps the throne for themselves.
And stating the obvious here, China is not communist. Both have been secretly genociding rural and indegenous minorities in the name of “culling communists.” The general public is even barely aware of this, it just happened under our noses and silenced with little discussion.

Lol missed the point. If other powers aren’t watching, they’d do the same. For now they “only” do these (on top of my head):
You know, things that won’t catch international attention but slowly but surely are fucking us up
