>Chinese imperialism.

Tibet, Xinjiang, invading Vietnam.

>Or soviet imperialism

You're joking, right? The quintessential imperialist power of the Cold War. Post-WW2 subjugation of eastern Europe. Occupation of the Baltic states. The failed colonialist war against Finland. Suppression of attempts to leave its imperialist orbit in Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, to a lesser extent Poland under Gomulka. The disaster in Afghanistan was started b1y the Soviet colonialist war there, of course.

>Or Vietnamese imperialism

Laos was a client state for a while, and their involvement in Cambodia crossed the line into imperialism at various points in the 70s.

>Or Cuban imperialism.

This one has a long and storied history. Cuban mercenaries were used to bolster far-left authoritarians and Soviet-aligned strongmen all over Latam and in Africa too. Even to this day they gladly send mercs to fight Russia's fascist war of aggression in Ukraine.
