I don't fall into this category of people you're referring to. I'm an antipodean digital nomad, and traditionally very globalist, and fairly left leaning in my views.

Having said all that, even I can see the problem with the amount of power that China has accrued manufacturing everything. It's not so much that it's "China" so much as any giant country that doesn't hold the same democratic views (for some value of democratic).

I don't really have an answer. Both Russia and China are demonstrating that the foreign policies of the last 30-40 years are flawed (and full of hypocrisy at times).

I don't. As Finn I have big enough country in between. And they have not yet done global terrorism with things like drone strikes. So to me they are at this moment the good guys.

I'm Brazilian and I couldn't care less. Do not see the same advocacy in IT against American imperialism and financeirization of the whole world or against the cartels of american companies products preventing me of having a job due to no significant industry in Brazil.

Brazilian here that welcome a multi polar world. Here we had much worse experience dealing with Europe and USA than with China, which at least did not colonized our country, did not implanted a dictatorship, nor enslaved or tortured people here.

Do you speak on behalf of the entire country?

Material demand responds to political advocacy (amongst other things).
