> When they cash in on it, it will not be for the advancement of liberal democracy or basic human dignity. As reckless and shameful as American policy has been of late, it continues to be the most powerful benefactor of liberal democracy the world over.
I don't see any evidence of that.
> I know that it is ideologically opposed to liberal democracy.
The Chinese government doesn't care about the existence or nonexistence of liberal democracy in the UK, US, or really anywhere other than in China itself. They're not out to destroy democracy in the UK. They care about their interests, which in regards to the UK are mostly economic.
> Do you think that millions of people died in WW2 in the name of trade regimes?
The CCP fought on the same side as the US and UK in WWII.
> Is that threat wholly eradicated, and will it always be so?
It was largely eradicated for a long time, though the far right is making a comeback in many countries. The major threat I see now, however, is the increasing conflict between the US and China, and the extreme recklessness of American foreign policy.
