It is weird that that policy is the one mentioned.
China could easily argue about the Roosevelt Corollary or other American foreign policies and that would be understandable. It just sounds weird that the foreign policy that China is actively arguing against is the one about foreign countries colonizing previously liberated countries in the Americas.
Because it’s not interpreted as just being “about foreign countries colonizing previously liberated countries in the Americas”…
Is China asking to colonize countries in the Americas?
Comes off as very disingenuous and bad faith given the real world context.
Its as valid as saying
“Why would China call out the Monroe doctrine when it’s about European countries, do they plan on joining Europe?!”…no.
It’s ialso mportant to note:
The Roosevelt corollary, which you mention they would be right to call out, directly stems from the Monroe doctrine. It’s “the Roosevelt corollary to the Monroe doctrine”
Abolishing the Monroe doctrine would therefore abolish the standing of the Roosevelt corollary…
Ironically a good example of the real world context you must consider and proof of the need to abandon the Monroe Doctrine.
