Funny how recently people have been attacking the UK over their colonialist past, but that's exactly what China is doing now. Yet hardly anyone wants to say anything about it.
Whats with the American obsession?

China is like any other power, they will flex and push to get what they want. They are going to find out how the rest of the world works but its going to take some pain until people push back.

Seems similar to the Russia story, except China currently means more to the world than Russia did...didnt work out so well for them.

America is not shining beacon for how countries should behave.
