probably
considered
one real base
Not to mention…they show China, but it isn’t highlighted as a “Country with a Chinese base”
They can’t even do the colors on the Very Real And Scary Imperialism Map™ right

missed opportunity to add at least one extra splotch of burgundy smdm propagandists these days so lazy i tell ya
And the base is located in a country that leases land for military bases like it’s candy to any country that asks lol
And all those bases are for an international anti-piracy mission (though considering present circumstances it’s worth noting that different countries are operating on different definitions of the word “piracy”)
So are they saying that having overseas military bases is a bad thing now, or?
They’re trying their damn hardest to conjure up some sort of whataboutism to throw at people who point this out
whataboutism 
Precisely, bot
those countries WANT those bases there!
Whereas China forced the countries to let them possibly consider propositioning them
America, Britain and a handful of other military powers have a global network of bases that have existed for decades and are mostly legacies of empire, the second world war and the cold war.
“legacies of empire” lmao. “We’re not building new bases, just continuing to occupy 800 existing ones, so that totes makes our imperialism okay guys!”
119 bases in Germany
119 bases in Japan
The US military is definitely not the fourth Reich
Shoddy reporting here, The Economist is missing a few important ones like:
Countries that I had a wet dream about China hosting a base
Countries that start with the letter C, like China, that could have a base
Countries that China definitely hasn’t considered hosting a base in but might change their mind someday
Countries with enough undeveloped land to host a Chinese military base
Countries larger than a Chinese military base, and so could probably host one.
Updating all the land area measurements in Wikipedia to units of Probable Number of Chinese Military Bases Hosted
o fuck the us has so many chinese military bases
The Vatican is right out
Countries that I had a wet dream about China hosting a base
came to the fleeting thought that China built a base in Liechtenstein
go ahead Kamala, send your best
Every time you eat dim sum, China gets a new military base
idk The Economist, all of this sounds pretty… baseless
The Economist is a piece of rag that likes to get high on orientalism and neoliberalism…
The Economist is what happens when someone parses the first word of “Combat Liberalism” as an adjective instead of a verb.
Incredible. This should be a tagline.
Side note: I’ve never understood why 反对自由主义 in particular is translated to “Combat Liberalism” instead of “Oppose Liberalism” since all of Mao’s other works that start with 反对 are translated as “Oppose”, the most famous being 反对本本主义 “Oppose Book Worship”
The Economist is liberal ideology and imperialism distilled
Here’s a taste of their ideology…

Great ep. Also, I do know The Economist, I was using idk rhetorically. Sorry if any confusion.

All the best diagrams contain the word “probably” multiple times
We’re getting reports that a Chinese Vicky 3 player thought his country probably should build a base on the Falkland Islands to project power. Is this funny to you, too, you insolent tankies?
In surprised they didn’t just include every Chinatown in a majort city as a “base”
flashback to a year ago when Chinese community centers in the US and Canada kept getting accused of being police stations
Going up to the guy who runs the cornershop down the street with kids smoking weed out front and accusing him of being a cop.
So only one base, that’s an anti piracy base in conjunction with the West?
Lmao. Embarassing reporting
smh economist, didn’t even list the base China probably thought about establishing in the Shadow Realm to keep tabs on Marik Ishtar
Tallying up my body count like
People Ive fucked with:
People I may or may not have tried to hookup with:
People I probably thought about sleeping with at one point:and then saying I’m the world’s #1 best shagger
The height of being a map pervert.
some of us paradox game map painters have sense enough to know no one gives a shit what our map looks like. /r/civ and its consequences I swear
Probably considered
