    Oh make no mistake , France is still enforcing Neocolonialism in its “former” colonies. Its just that I see to many people (eee lemmy.ml) handwaive Chinas awful actions away because bad stuff happened before, and that logic only ever leads to things never getting better.

      What I see is anti-China propaganda where everything bad is denounced when China does it but ignored when it’s the west and their allies.

      I see many more post about “China evil” than I see about Saoudi Arabia or Israël.

      In fact, the “China evil” propaganda is very often a form of whataboutism to avoid the same or worst problems in the west. In French there is a say that goes like “it’s easier to see the straw in the eye of you neighbour than to see the beam in your own eye.”
