> You think other nations actually buy into peaceful globalism?

I hope you didn't use the word "other" to imply the US has a policy of "peaceful globalism". That would be wrong.

I certainly don't believe the US has such a policy. So, it surprises me when people think other countries have such a policy. Never has such a thing happened in the history of the world.

learn history. China was a textbook quality isolationist when it was the biggest economy in the world. it doesn't have any peaceful globalism policy because trading with the rest of the world was simply banned.

You act like China has always been a monolithic entity.
