Sorry, not sorry: How China’s nationalistic netizens played into Malaysian rapper Namewee’s hands​


Because of the CCP regime's draconian, almost real-time online censorship, only the pro-CCP, pro-China comments and content get published, creating a false impression than almost all the Tiong 'netizens' have the same opinions.

Regime change and tear down that Great Firewall, and you will get something much closer to the truth.

Although the CCP is not a saint, the US cannot claim to be one too. They are both doing what great powers do, or have done. The US is very threatened by China, not just because of a different ideology but more so because of China's progress and advancement.

US imperialism​

U.S. imperialism or American imperialism is the expansion of political, economic, cultural, media, and military influence beyond the boundaries of the United States. Depending on the commentator, it may include imperialism through outright military conquest; military protection; gunboat diplomacy; unequal treaties; subsidization of preferred factions; regime change; economic or diplomatic support; or economic penetration through private companies, potentially followed by diplomatic or forceful intervention when those interests are threatened.

The policies perpetuating American imperialism and expansionism are usually considered to have begun with "New Imperialism" in the late 19th century, though some consider American territorial expansion and settler colonialism at the expense of Indigenous Americans to be similar enough in nature to be identified with the same term. While the United States has never officially identified itself and its territorial possessions as an empire, some commentators have referred to the country as such, including Max Boot, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., and Niall Ferguson. Other commentators have accused the United States of practicing neocolonialism—sometimes defined as a modern form of hegemony—which leverages economic power rather than military force in an informal empire; the term "neocolonialism" has occasionally been used as a contemporary synonym for modern-day imperialism.
