Besides the subordination of other spaces groups to the benefit of a centralised system of power? Do you have any idea how many distinct cultures exist within Chinese borders, willingly or otherwise (Tibet and Hong Kong). The Belt and Road Initiative utilises capitalistic tactics to strategically acquire vital colonial assets and in particular here, reformulates colonial spaces toward its interests. 53 countries in Africa have developed infrastructure projects that are always oriented toward economic benefit to the metropole.
Imperialism is not “big guy invades small guy,” it is a system of power that disproportionately benefits a dominating group of people. Europeans rarely have to invade the countries they seek to colonize, they can simply secure their interests through selective investment and legal decision.

How is China imperialist?
