"Are there problems with China? Yes but I like a lot of what they are doing in the world and watching the West grump about it is priceless entertainment."
The human rights abuses or creating economic servitude before raping the natural resources of underdeveloped countries?
Sure, America and European countries did similar things 50+ years ago but I thought we were trying to clean up these messes, not make more.
Suggesting that Chinas ambitions around the Spratley's amounts to traditional territory ignores clear overreach. NZ and Australia's role in the development of Pacific Islands may have been surpassed, but again I fear China's interests are exploitive rather than necessarily in said countries best interests.
Let's see how opinions change over the coming years.
