China isn't my preference.

The Global South recognizes China's economic structure as a potential model to replicate and an alternative trade partner. US unipolarity has had a tight grip on the world's neck, and nations call for multipolarity, increasing trade with Russia and China to escape strangulation. Countries diversify because reliance on US trade, finance, etc., destroyed them.

Do you perceive China as an imperialist? The Global South prefers to work with China. I understand it pursues financial gains to improve living standards and domestic investments. Inequality still persists, but the targeted poverty approach and wealth redistribution seek to minimize this issue - hence, wealthy Chinese immigrate.

China's revolution destabilized it for decades, and it relied on the USSR for trade and finance because the US isolated its economy. However, the USSR withdrew support when Mao criticized leadership, leaving China to fend for itself. It had to develop independently until Nixon improved relations and has had unprecedented growth since rejoining the global economy.

Taiwan and South Korea endured dictatorships, but the US/West poured resources into the nations to promote capitalism and disable communism. Japan's post-war reconstruction via the US/West's capital investments also enabled growth, demonstrating nations' dependency on each other.

Unfortunately, we've never experienced a socialist or communist movement without foreign interference. US tactics influenced governments' policies, compelling them to respond to meddling. We may disagree with these actions, but they help to understand history.

I agree with you. The European socialist-capitalist model is ideal, but workers must be militant (like the French) to maintain a balance of power because capitalists relentlessly seek profits at the expense of the working class. Perhaps, a superior model hasn't evolved yet.
