Typical "50 cent troll" rhetoric. "The US and Britain have done bad things, so China can do them too". In fact, most of the points you've made are untrue and reek of CCP propaganda.

>Do you not take the formidable number of Chinese people that have been lifted off abject poverty seriously?

After China's own government has driven the entire country into famine and poverty, and destroyed any lingering of culture the country had.

> Do you not take the millions of kilometers of railroad that have been built both within and outside China by Chinese companies and people seriously?

Built quickly and shoddily with no safety standards. The major aim of building the high-speed rail network was to boost the GDP. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/18/world/asia/18rail.html https://www.hongkongfp.com/2015/08/07/70-of-chinese-train-co...

> Do you not take the infrastructure that has been built, no questions asked, in Africa seriously while western nations have only taken from Africa while giving nothing in return except conflict and weapons? > Do you not take seriously that Chinese entrepreneurs, often being from a modest background themselves, left their country for Sub-Saharian Africa and Egypt and even Ethiopia and have become of the main providers of employment and growth and even HOPE-you-can-believe-in in those countries?

China has been routinely called "the new colonialists" for their actions in Africa.

>Do you not take seriously the information that a Chinese company, COSCO, recently became the operator of Greece's ports?

Sole bid. No one else wanted it.

I'm not even going to start on your ridiculous claim about China "building islands and infrastructure to fight against piracy and more important, ensure safe harbor for ships in a world that will be increasingly affected by climate change" in the South China Sea, which is so bizarre that it needs no refutal.

So, no, I don't take whatever you say seriously. In fact, I think you are a shill paid by the Chinese government to post this.
