    Yet all isn’t well. Chinese coast guard ships and maritime militia have harassed Philippine vessels trying to reinforce their sailors on the Second Thomas Shoal, which Beijing and Manila both claim. The People’s Liberation Army Air Force continues to fly across the Taiwan Strait median-line on a regular basis. The China-India border dispute in the Himalayas, meanwhile, remains unsolved four years after troops clashed in the area.

    These are the best examples you have of China being an “enemy to the world”? Minor local territorial disputes with casualties in the tens?

        To be fair, I’m pretty sure that chiropractic treatment is mostly a pseudo-science, so I wouldn’t advocate for a neoliberal being given more of that

          A fair percentage is, I would guess the majority. You can have chiropractors who actually have some medical background, often in PT, and may know better what is safe to do but a lot of them don’t. My mother was an orthopedic radiologist and saw a lot of patients coming in who had been seriously hurt by chiropractors.

      If all your neighbours hate you, because you are stealing their land over and over again, it’s simple imperialism. It doesnt matter if you steal land from colonies in Africa like Europe did 100 years ago or if you are doing it now to your neighbours: you are using your military might to subdue other people.
