That's just a fancy way to say imperialism is fine when China does it.
Emancipatory language never justifies imperialism whether it is the US or China.

This is the same argument that colonialism apologists make to defend Western colonialism.
Batista was overthrown by his own people in a revolution. Tibet is occupied by China.
Like, are you a fan of Saddam Hussein or something? Do you think Hussein being a horrible dictator justifies the US invasion of Iraq?

This is a Cambridge study and "liberal" means something different in the UK than it does in the US.

Some people are so myopically focused on valid criticism of the United States that they get brain worms and think that means that they also have to pretend that things are better in Russia and China and hell there is a contingent that is huge DPRK fans.

Bluffs are the cliffs that lead down to a beach.
