In the 16th century, they told the Chinese that Christianity should be given anywhere. Catholicism means exactly that, universalism, a peculiar European concept that an idea conceived by a group of thinkers should have universal validity and apply to everyone. However, the Chinese said 滚!and banned the jesuits, dominicans, franciscans and other missionaries when they suggested that notion.
In the 19th century, they told the Chinese that Trade liberalism should be given anywhere. The Chinese said 滚!again, so the English and other powers started a series of wars to impose that trade liberalism (including opium), while taking bits and pieces of Chinese territory.
And now in the 21st century, they tell the Chinese that Human rights, a.k.a. Christianity 2.0, should be given anywhere. The pattern repeats itself, over and over again.
I have a better idea. Why don't you guys just 滚!and mind your own business, fixing your own corona infested economies tumbling down the hill, solving your own blatant human rights problems before pointing fingers at China and others? Be a role model for others to emulate, instead of trying to impose rights that you can't live up to yourselves.
If there is anything we can learn from 2000 years of history, then it is that China will take to its heart only what they see fit, no matter how much pressure you exert. China is China, not your puppet state, not your vassal state, not your obediant servant. 滚!
