It is of course true that westem imperialism did bring good things with it. Modern technology and trade for example.
You don't get the benefits of technology and trade without accepting the underlying capitalist ideology that enables it. Even white people starve under communism.
The USA today is the ongoing exponent of western imperialism, invading other nations, assassinating their leaders or kidnapping them, placing economic sanctions upon any nation that dares to challenge US domination.
Is the PRC-backed IRGC not an example of communist imperialism? So if the US backs Reza Pahlavi what's the problem? Would a government under a democratic regime that doesn't threaten death for apostasy (among their many other uncivilized anti-freedom human rights abuses) not be more representative of the Iranian people than the current despots?
China learned how to refine rare earths from the west, and how to manufacture washing machines.
This is proof according to your own assertions that China is capitalist.
China beat your crony capitalism by applying their Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
USA lost the trade war - you just confirmed it.
Suez-Hormuz
End of Empire
Deal with it loser

No it isn't. They're still behind. That proof is that they don't have the technical capabilities to take Taiwan. That's the evidence I need to see.
Honestly, if you can raise the PRC's flag over Taiwan, I will admit you are right about everything. The US, the West, Capitalism, and Christendom will lose all relevance on the world stage and I will kill myself. Otherwise, you haven't won shit.
If I were Xi I'd initiate the invasion in October because putting it off is not going well for him. We already have Greenland.
You don't understand China and you do not understand The Art of War.
The reunification of China with Taiwan will be all the more glorious because the Taiwanese counter revolutionaries will be begging for reunification.
USA once understood the importance of soft power- until it elected TACO Trump and found itself being overtly directed by the Zionists to hasten their Greater Israel Project because everyone knows USA lost the trade war and the petrodollar empire is operating on borrowed time.
You can't make any more Interceptors.
Dang!

It is of course true that westem imperialism did bring good things with it.
Modern technology and trade for example.
But also true that as the dominant force the west enjoyed most of the benefits while the conquered cultures paid most of the price.
What is lacking from your review and it seems the book, is that the legacy of western imperialism today continues primarily via the US domination over global institutions, protocols and sheer military might.

Here on Stacker News, a right leaning forum, there is fuck all mention of the current invasion of Iran and the attack by Israel upon multiple of its neighbours. Any post raising the Israel-US war on Iran or raising the topic of The Greater Israel Project is swiftly and dumbly downzapped into obscurity.
Contemporary right wingers seem to accept US imperialism and its sponsorship of Israels genocide and land grabbing, as perfectly OK.
Irans democratically elected government was removed by the CIA and UK in the 1950s to perpetuate US-UK exploitation of Iranian oil. The current war is a direct consequence of that criminal infringement upon the sovereign rights of the Iranian nation and its people.
Ignoring these contemporary examples of brutal and amoral western imperialism does not excuse them.
