Sure! The sun never sets on the British Empire! It's why China had to recover from a Century of Humiliation and many others also fought wars of independence - I'm not talking about the US at all here!- because of British imperialism.
Not understanding the current currents of anti imperialism is almost impossible, if you read the Guardian or the Independent, British newspapers.

@Roundandroundwego What of the other European empires, mainly smaller than Britain's but still imperialist: French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Belgium?
I don't understand your second paragraph because Britain has not had an empire for a very long time now. It still has the Commonwealth but that is more a friendly-society than a political entity.

@ArishMell imperialism never ended. It's neoliberal politics and it's hegemonic throughout the West, freeing corporations to colonize the global South and the rest. That's why there's an anti imperialist majority in the Sahel battling the West.

@Roundandroundwego Always only the West? What about China, which is certainly not liberal (I don't know what "neoliberal" means), but is ruthless and determined to dominate as much of the rest of the world as it can?
