@DeySouravOfficial. Yes, China actually helped Vietnam gain independence from France. During the 1st Indochina War, China supplied and provided the Việt Minh guerrilla forces with almost every kind of crucial and important supplies and material required, such as food (including thousands of tonnes of rice), money, medics and medical aid and supplies, arms and weapons (ranging from artillery guns to rifles and machine-guns), ammunition and explosives and other types of military equipment. 2,000 military advisors from the PRC and the Soviet Union trained the Việt Minh guerrilla forces with the aim of turning it into a full-fledged armed force to fight off their French colonial masters and gain national independence. On top of this, the PRC sent two People's Liberation Army (PLA) artillery battalions to help Vietnam fight the French for independence.

From 1950 to 1954, the Chinese government shipped goods, materials, and medicine worth $43 billion (in 2019 dollars) to Vietnam. From 1950 to 1956, the Chinese government had also shipped 155,000 small arms, 58 million rounds of ammunition, 4,630 artillery pieces, 1,080,000 artillery shells, 840,000 hand grenades, 1,400,000 uniforms, 1,200 vehicles, 14,000 tons of food, and 26,000 tons of fuel to Vietnam.

@valuedcustomer8922 China is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc and investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place.

@kvm1992 Previously under the Republic of China 🇹🇼, China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country similar to India (world's largest democracy) in the past, but today under the People's Republic of China 🇨🇳, China has since transformed into world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China) having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, funded by world's 2nd highest military expenditure.
And it's all been achieved under communist party leadership, despite Western anti-Communist propaganda constantly denouncing China's success all along.

@neil6958 About Innovation in China, China is world's most populous country, so statistically speaking, China has the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to implement said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses, and since China's population is 4x that of USA, there should be at least 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius.
Source: China's Statistical Advantage: Large populations have more geniuses http://iiipublishing.com/blog/2018/06/blog_06_07_2018.html
Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

@tomspencer1364 Granted, the Communist Party of China is certainly not perfect (then again which government body truly is?) but despite its initial failures and setbacks, under its leadership, China's population doubled, our lifespans doubled, our literacy rates doubled, and our poverty rates plummeted. The graph below shows life-expectencies across China, USA and India.

@tomspencer1364 China's political system has been through immense change. China once tried democracy when Dr. Sun yatsen (Sun Zhongshan) overthrew the Qing Dynasty China in 1911 and established the Republic of China 🇹🇼 (1912-1949). But back then China was divided into several areas, we lost control of Tibet, and various warlords ruled different parts of China and even Japan invaded China twice during this weak period of Chinese history. Dr. Sun tried to get help from the Western powers, but they laughed at the thought of China copying their democracy. They even gave away the Shandong province (which had been occupied by the Germans during WWI) to Japan, instead of returning it to China (even when China was part of the Allies during WWI). In the end, Dr. Sun died without ever realising a unified China under democracy.
Next, China tried communism under Mao Zedong and he accomplished what the ROC could not, and reunifed China under communism, proclaiming the People's Republic of China 🇨🇳 in 1949 and Tibet was finally returned back to China in 1951. If not for Mao Zedong, China today would still be weak and divided country, fighting among ourselves, instead of the strong unified country we are today. But Mao was an excellent strategist, not a good governor and that led to China's failed economic policies.
Next China tried Socialism with Chinese Characteristics under Deng Xiaoping which successfully transformed China from a dirt-poor country into an economic juggernaut today. But with economic reform comes political pressure, and it was Deng who ordered the People's Liberation Army into Tiananmen Square. Deng died without ever admitting to sending the PLA to Tiananmen Square.
Today, China is following Xi Jinping Thought under President Xi Jinping, and its still too early to tell what's going to happen. The thing is, China's political system is constantly evolving with the times, whereas in USA, the U.S constitution has remained unchanged for 150 years.

@shambhutekar5797 You said: "China even announced a tariff exemption for 97% of exports from Bangladesh."
Isn't that a good thing for Bangladesh? Currently, 3095 Bangladeshi products enjoy duty-free access to Chinese market under Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA). With the new announcement, 97% of Bangladeshi products will join this zero-tariff club from July 1 that raised the numbers of Bangladeshi products with zero duty access to Chinese market to 8,256.
You said: "The Maldivian Government leased out Islands of Feydhoo Finolhuto China until 2066 for $4 million."
The islands are leased for Chinese companies to develop into a tourist resort. According to Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, the Feydhoo Finolhu resort appears largely complete as of August 2020, but the wharf is modest and seems intended for civilian vessels, presumably ferrying guests who fly in to nearby Male. Small villas line the shore all around the island, while the only larger buildings are the small cluster near the harbor. These are presumably the administrative buildings and shops for the resort. And dozens of bungalows line piers over the reef itself. The island has even been planted with small groves of palm trees. And there is very little room left to build anything else, whether civilian or military. All in all, Feydhoo Finolhu has every indication of being a commercial resort.
And in 2066, the 50-year lease would expire, the Feydhoo Finolhu island would be returned to Maldives. So doesn't Maldives stand to benefit in the long run?
You said: "Sri Lanka meltdown exposes China loan policy"
I already pointed out that China only makes up 10% of Sri Lanka's foreign debt, the remaining 90% comes mostly from the West, Japan and India, yet you're blaming China for Sri Lanka's woes?
