Even if you buy into all the best Chinese propaganda (oh, so it's "terrorism" when Uyghurs fight against the state, but you're ok with Palestinian freedom fighting? Where's the consistency, tankies??), there's no denying that China is imperialist by virtue of the fact that they rule over the Uyghur and Tibetan peoples despite enormous cultural differences to the ruling imperial core and a demonstrated desire for independence.

You'll note that at no time did I try to make an argument that America is good. That's...the whole point of this post

And btw Hawai'i would have been a much stronger example to pick to highlight American imperialism.
