> Sure, but not the way West conducted it, by going and killing generations of people.

Ridiculous statement. China is doing it today — uighurs are actively erased bit by bit.

> Look at India, before British colonization they accounted for almost 25% GDP of the world (~1700s), now it is around 3-4%

This statement is rooted in “zero sum” logic, and based on the assumption that without colonization India should have stayed with its 25% or more share. Hypotheticals are hypotheticals, and nothing more.

> You keep defending the West,

I’m not defending anyone. I find it ridiculous that you are so high on “the west is bad, China good” horse and completely oblivious to so many things that China does, which are objectively worse.
