So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy's version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

But I also think that this conversation about US vs Chinese interests does not adequately elevate the experiences of smaller countries in the region.

I am interested in this too, no sarcasm. Id like to read the perspective of the small countries caught up in this. Ill are if i can find anything interestinng.

We should be looking at which actions are beneficial and liberatory to the people who live there, and which are harmful

Neither actions of either country attempting to control trade and resources in the South China Sea will be liberatory, and i am cynical of a major material benefit for the people of the region.

In my view, Chinese activity is more harmful and imperialistic in the current context

I would like to hear more about that context. The context of the harm to the small countries? How are Chinese actions more imperialistic than the US actions there?

I think we could talk more probably! Ill see what i can find
