That's true, however in pragmatic terms it is no longer possible for any one country to become the "global hegemon". The USA in 1991 had a level of relative power vs. the entire world that allowed it to become the global hegemon. This is no longer true in the modern world, the USA of today...

100% correct. :tup: China is still a developing country. And our official policy is to "Never seek hegemony". The age of superpowers is over. America will be the last superpower, and good riddance. The future is a multipolar world.

Process is in action = All talk no action. Meanwhile the USA is still dropping a bomb every few minutes (on the heads of Muslims) and you are begging them to save Muslim refugees in Bangladesh.

Apparently they can, because despite all the loud boasting it seems that neither Bangladesh nor Donald Trump care enough to do anything to stop it. As you said yourself, America could start bombing Myanmar tomorrow and the world would just pass it off as Donald Trump being a lunatic as usual...

So, when is your new best friend Donald Trump going to approve military action against Myanmar? I think saving Muslim refugees must be at the top of his to-do list.

Myanmar has already won, they pushed the Rohingya to Bangladesh and no one cared enough to do anything about it. Not Bangladesh, and not your beloved America or India either. There were a lot of words and political point scoring... but zero action. Might as well have killed the Rohingya yourselves.

That's a lot of uses of the word "white". How do you think it came to be, in your view, that the vast majority of the Western media is both "liberal" and "white hating" as you say?

That member @bluesky is a Bangladeshi.

China has to invest overseas regardless, it's an economic imperative. China has a huge surplus on the current account, which must be balanced on the capital account via outwards investment, outwards lending, and buying overseas assets. If not Bangladesh it will go elsewhere. It goes to Myanmar too.

That's a good question. Why is @UKBengali acting more Indian than an Indian? Where were his heroes Donald Trump and Modi?

So you've been bought by a few kind diplomatic words after the Rohingya saga? Well that was easy. Now China will continue to have access to the BD market while selling weapons to Myanmar too, win-win.

You can do whatever you want to Myanmar, like I said China has refused to sign a mutual defence treaty with Myanmar, which means it is open season for anyone who wants to fight them. But nobody wants to fight them, because nobody actually cares about the Rohingya. Except your new best friend...

Sure, so how come they aren't doing it? I mean, America is famous for loving Muslim refugees right? China would welcome the USA getting stuck in another quagmire, and China has very pointedly refused to sign a mutual defence treaty with Myanmar. Which basically means it is open season for...

I don't think it is possible anymore, in the current climate of global condemnation, I don't see any way for Myanmar to back down without looking like they surrendered to US and Bangladeshi pressure. Any Myanmar government that looks like it has surrendered to US or Bangladeshi pressure will be...

Everyone is trying to serve their own interests here, I don't think anyone believes that politicians like Donald Trump for instance really truly care about what happens to refugees whom he has never met. Especially Muslim refugees in the case of Donald Trump. China wanted a "win" just like with...

I have to disagree, China successfully solved the Kokang issue in Myanmar without internationalising it. Now Myanmar recognizes the Kokang as legitimate Burmese citizens. China is trying to do the same thing again, but there are other players in the world trying to stop it (USA + Bangladesh)...

Good luck to Bangladesh and Donald Trump then. :cheers: Maybe if you are successful then everyone will forget the fact that the entire world was laughing at the USA in the UN a few days ago. Except Bangladesh I guess? By the way, China fought directly against the USA during the 1950 Korean...

Absolutely yes. Trump needs to get a second term, and hopefully by then American society would start to demand another Donald Trump with a different name. Brett Kavanaugh maybe? As far as I can tell America has always held a high regard for loud, bragging and boastful psychopaths like Donald...

Trump, Clinton, Obama, they are all the same thing. Just wearing different masks. "Accelerating" the decline is exactly right. Donald Trump is just a symptom of something much deeper growing within American society.

The whole world has a problem with America, the entire world was laughing at America in the last United Nations summit. Turkey is right to be angry after the USA has continuously backstabbed them, and are even trying to tear apart their country by creating an armed Kurdish state on their borders.
