Economic coercion, like:

the embargo on Cuba?

legislation to raise EV tariffs by 100% and block semiconductor exports?

sanctions on India?

sanctions on Pakistan?

tell me more about this “economic coercion”, because it seems like we’re talking to an expert in the matter.

Yea sure, it was all in the paper anyway. Let me copy paste that shit since you are unable to click on a link… here you go!

when a Norwegian committee in 2010 awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to a Chinese dissident, Beijing stopped buying salmon from the Nordic country. Two years later, China rejected banana imports from the Philippines over a territorial dispute in the South China Sea. In 2020, Beijing responded to Australia’s call for an investigation into the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic by raising tariffs on Australian barley and wines.

Then came Lithuania. In late 2021 and early 2022, Lithuanian businesses saw their cargo shipments to and from China stranded, and they were warned by major European businesses that Lithuanian-made auto parts would be barred from products for the Chinese market.

That came after Lithuania allowed Taiwan’s de-facto embassy in Vilnius to bear the name Taiwan, instead of Taipei — Taiwan’s capital city — as preferred by Beijing. China considers the self-governed island to be part of Chinese territory and protested the use of Taiwan.

This all seems pretty tame compared to Pakistan getting couped for the nth time by the USA because they wanted to do trade with China and Russia because the USA kept screwing them over with infinite IMF loans and expensive LNG.

Now their democratically elected leader is in jail, the economy imploded, and they have a massive LNG shortage.

China is a bully, but they don’t infiltrate your entire government everyday like the CIA has been doing for several decades.

Well tell the CIA to step up their game. Way too much shit happening now.

Edit: also for someone who claims to live in Pakistan you seem to hold a lot of viewpoints aligned well with the Kremlin. Which is very interesting

Are you trying to defend china by attacking the usa?? They are both asshole dude, that’s it. There is no “but these one are assholer”. If you want to talk about china infiltrating different country to do as they please let me help you.

Let’s be clear on a point. Xi, Biden, Macron, Trudeau, Modi, Putin, Sunak, Kishida, Vajiralongkorn, Wong, Erdogan, Ruto, Thavisin ; the ultra rich of our beautiful planet are profiting from us, from the land and from everything we ever touched. They are literally trying to profit from fucking space. They are all a bunch of dumbfuck. Destroying everything around them in the name of profit and WE will reap what THEY sowed.
