    Ah, the “third option” cop-out—where exploitation gets rebranded as benevolence. You’re right, it’s not altruism; it’s calculated self-interest dressed up in flowery rhetoric. Call it what you want, but when nations lose sovereignty over ports, railways, and resources, it’s not a partnership—it’s a leash.

      just show it to your handler.
