Mao developed the Three Worlds Theory to distance China from the first (US and the USSR) and the second (developed countries of the Global North) worlds
Don’t you mean ‘the first (US and the developed countries of the Global North) and the second (the USSR and the rest of the Warsaw Pact) worlds’?
The Chinese government knows that a offensive political strategy will have american carriers arriving at their shores in two days max, so they try to “uphold international law” to give the americans less leeway to attack and possible have more cards to deal with the taiwan issue.
The only thing that I’ve read anywhere that I respect is from Vijay Prashard. A super tldr is that it’s mixed.
China really needs to be more proactive in its foreign policy. Losing three south Asian Ally’s to US proxies is not a good look.

Very interesting and concise , thank you
