It's not odd at all, what is odd is how many defend China and point out the US's past sins. If China feels it was ill-treated it should ask for reparations, not freaking steal any piece of technology it can.

Furthermore:

1) China is stealing technology from everyone, not just the US.

2) They're also doing some hobby colonialism of their own in Africa.

Not to mention bullying anyone that dares call them out for their concentration camps. So China seems to be one more bully on the international stage. There's enough of those already.

I never said China's ruling class weren't "bullies". What I am opposing is the myopic belief in a nationalistic, us-vs-them mentality that transparently exists to make people ignore the class differences staring them in the face at home.

Also, ask for reparations? Like all the other times the US has happily granted those??

And finally, at least you are seemingly frank about believing that the US should be able to exploit other countries as the supreme "bully".
