They say that he who creates AGI will control the entire world. I wouldn’t want America to dominate earth with their misaligned AI.

    The relationship they had with the country I grew up in was not like that, it was more like pay off corrupt politicians, so China can economically exploit it. Same with Russia. What you’re saying is just the Chinese party line, the equivalent of the “US only ever brings democracy” BS. They are both BS, of course, they both serve their own interests.

      There is a difference between an imperialist state like the US and an anti-imperialist — and until recently imperialized — state like China.

      The US has over 750 overseas military bases around the world, and is building more to further encircle China. Meanwhile China has one anti-piracy base in Djibouti.

        I’m not talking about philosophically, I’m talking about China paying off my country’s politicians to build massive infrastructure projects benefiting only China, from money lent from China, by companies from China. Or the same deal happening with overpriced rail cars bought from Russia, that are not performing even comparably better than the French ones we could have bought for much, much cheaper.

        My country mostly faces no US pressure except when it’s blocking NATO or EU proceedings, to the chagrin of all the other member states. Even then, the government could do what it wanted, no matter how stupid. Worst thing they did was pay less of the free money that they were paying to help us grow in the first place.
