colonialism is when you build bridges and train stations
non-colonialism is when you have 50+ military bases scattered across a foreign continent and keep all their cash in your banks and don't allow them to even withdraw it and you assassinate the last 10 democratically elected leaders who tried to change this arrangement
But you see, bridges and train stations are clearly racist because they're built by Chinese people on time and on budget.
