This is a paraphrase of a comment that I posted on Reddit some time ago:

China certainly exports ideology. For example, the notion of "mutually beneficial win-win cooperation" as opposed to the "zero-sum game". These types of ideals serve as the foundation for China-Global South (South-South) cooperation to industrialize and modernize former colonized and developing nations rather than simply exist as raw material exporters. This way, they can finally pry the grasp of the imperial core on their holdings and become an independent, sovereign power. You could consider that exporting "revolution" or "socialism".

Russia isn't going to lose. The Ukrainian counteroffensive has been a complete failure, and Ukraine's Western patrons are already at the stage of acceptance. Of course, Russia won't agree to freezing the war, like what happened at Korea, because they have all the leverage.

The world really is revolving faster than I had anticipated. I thought that the decline of USD hegemony would gradually occur over the span of two or three decades, but it might occur in just a few years. This year, 2023, isn't even over, yet 21 countries—BRICS+ and ASEAN—have agreed to remove USD as the middleman in cross-border transactions.

Not that we as communists give a single shit about “free market competition”, there is nothing wrong with a weaker nation using protectionist measures (although we must be clear about the fact that sanctions are not protectionism, they are the polar opposite, they are aggressive economic hybrid warfare) to prevent a stronger one overrunning their economy, but it shows the hypocrisy of their own neoliberal “free trade” mantra.

My understanding is that the "free market" is to prevent foreign nations from developing their economies by means of import-substitution industrialization, for the sake of domestic monopolies taking over the foreign nations' economies, like a parasite, and turning them into rent-extracting hosts.

In that case, it's in the interests of all peoples of the globe to reject this form of neo-colonialism—not just communists.

This blue water boi comes to you and smacks your rear with its' tail. How do you react?

An actual pocket telescope.

The modern, neoliberal variant of feudalism: neo-feudalism.

The BRICS summit meeting begins tomorrow.

Depends on what the nature of the conflict is.

In the event that Taipei declares independence and the US comes to its aid, I can't see them outmatching the PLA in conventional kinetic warfare. The US could use nukes, but this would invoke a nuclear retaliation from the PRC - less about the US wins and more about everyone loses.

As another commenter has stated, all three countries that you have listed would successfully fend off an American invasion if they fought in their home field.

I suppose that it depends on what exactly you're trying to enjoy.

I always knew that the Earth is flat. I'm glad that it's finally confirmed.
