I don't know how much truth media tells about Venezuela. There were few posters some time ago from Venezuela answering questions, and while things are bad, they are not as bad as the media says. It should be noted that Cuba, Vietnam,Laos,China and even North Korea are doing quite well given the circumstances.
Venezuela Is A Shithole Thread
I laugh every time
I think it's time to let the chinese be the global superpower, they can't do any worse than this
My country has been making deals to significantly boost trade, everyone in their right mind sees where the wind is blowing
Eh, be careful in giving China too much of a benefit of the doubt. Their Ruling Class appears to be more competent and "efficient" but they're still capitalists. Usually when a country goes full imperialism, as China inevitably will do if it takes the lead on the global stage unless Xi really is interested in making the CPC socialist again which at this point looks like a no-go, or unless the "New Chinese Left" prevails in reforming the party and doing Cultural Revolution 2.0 which is a possibility but a longshot it usually becomes gradually more and more unhinged and does stupider and stupider shit while the homeland deteriorates.
That being said, it's hard for me to imagine China thinking exporting Burger King at the expense of free healthcare, education, relative peace among the society, suppression of religious reactionaries, and so on is a good deal
Trump did great things - he pressure China economy that makes for them troubles already. If coming crisis hit really hard they may did no have other choice than restore socialism and planned economy or collapse.

Did he run for office on a no-toilet paper platform?
Hmm… It's just the old days when europeans was colonialists, only not europeans and even worse in many ways.
What crisis would that be?
