In a thoughtful column, Murtaza Hussain asks whether the world might be better off with the rise of China than it was under Western and US hegemony?
After all, European imperialism and US wars since 1945 have caused millions of deaths; the Western sense of superiority prevents any fair
dialogue with others; and the great liberal democracies have been
revealed as states who torture those they suspect, assassinate their
enemies with impunity from drone aircraft, and spy on everyone including
their citizens on a previously unimaginable scale
Meanwhile, argues Hussain, China has no tradition of invading other countries; has a respectful attitude towards other Asian countries due
to the Confucian virtues; and has nothing in its history "remotely
comparable to the industrialised exploitation and mass-murder which as
characterised the Western colonial project."
