I consider imperialism putting your hands in someone else’s land, basically speaking.
What’s YOUR definition?
Gotcha, so your definition is focused entirely on force. I don’t think this definition fits, though, not in prior forms of Imperialism like the Roman Empire or British Empire, and not for modern Imperialism dominated by the US Empire, as it makes no mention of extraction or analysis of why Imperialism exists. For example, the Union defeating the Confederacy, or the Soviets taking Berlin, are both “Imperialism” in your definition.
What Socialists refer to as Imperialism is a form of international extraction. I already linked this Prolewiki article for you, but here’s the basics:
The PRC, India, Brazil, etc do not fit this, but Western countries absolutely do, especially the US Empire.
Ahahahah no no, the Soviet invading Berlin isn’t imperialism for me. Oppressing neighbors is though, like Tibet to make a classic example.
By your definition, it was, though. The PLA liberating Tibet from a slave-driven feudalism isn’t Imperialism either, especially considering the PRC doesn’t underdevelop Tibet and use it as a hub of extraction.
The world doesn’t depend on MY definitions, luckily.
Also that is still imperialism, no matter how hard you try to come up with a definition that can fit your narrative. Sorry.
By what metric? What are you talking about? You’re using a definition of Imperialism that not even liberals use, so when we say “China isn’t Imperialist” and you claim it is by using metrics you invent, we are talking past each other, not to each other.

Look, there are people who disagree with you apparently.
Already covered in the article I linked, but you evidently didn’t read. China is not Imperialist. Flat Earthers also disagree with me, same with fascists, liberals, etc, the presense of disagreement doesn’t validate the disagreement.
Yeah I don’t care about propaganda, sorry.
