Imperialism is a state seeking to maintain and/or extend power over other states. That is exactly what China is doing with Taiwan. Of course, unequal exchange is also a form of imperialism.

Imperialism is cool as long as the people doing the imperialism call themselves socialists or communists 🙂‍↕️
