Apples to Oranges and lack of historical materialism is Maoism’s bread and butter. They don’t really have anything good to say, do they?

Imperialism is surplus value extraction across national borders, IE the theft of land, labor, and resources from a weaker country to feed the stronger one. I greatly doubt even Britain in this investment is gaining much if anything, trade amongst the imperial core nations rarely has much profit margins, because labor costs are similar.
Trade or investment do not necessarily mean imperialism, the devil is in the details.
