Sadly Lordo you have lost the plot, "you" seem pretty sure about the narrative, not truth mind you because 'we' don't have facts, more a belief (if only it were true).
...'us' and ''them'' should not be so hard a notion for an Individual like you/''you'' to understand.
Indeed, the "Soft Power" of China has its allure spanning half the globe with their plans linking these countries to the infrastructure they need to secure their own economy; NATO, or more accurately the US, in effect for the last fifty years have kept the seas free, for all to trade. These are two completely different stories; one where you do not appreciate the benefits from its results, and another which may sound good incomplete, but is already in difficulty.
Cognitive Warfare is real. Did you really watch the video; where did you get the impression that China (alone) does not do this kind of research?
Oh my god RW, really? USA keeps the seas free for all to trade? You made me laugh. USA does nothing that does not serve their self interest.
Perfect example. There is a coup in Niger right? What was the Americans doing setting up base there and the French for that matter. How many Chinese bases are you aware of around the world.
