China is going to rule the world economically, militarily and via global influence. Should the West try to ensure they don't repeat our mistakes?

India is too far behind and is even more corrupt. China has wisely built infrastructure, India lacks these basic amenities.

India certainly has it's challenges but it is a large country with a core of educated young people. China's challenges include Tibet, Hong Kong, and the Uyghurs not to mention their ossified politics and skewed population caused by the one-child policy.

 

[Mac-7]

Yes, but they are in their infancy as a Global Super Power, where will they be in 25 years? We have hurt ourselves while they have an objective and a patriotism that was once unique to America. Go check out their median income increases over 20 years. Imagi e your salary quadrupiling or more as theirs did?

China has hurt itself also

The one child policy produced a shortage of females that reverberates through the country even today

The covid/wuhan lockdown policy had been a disaster

In foreign policy china is ham handed

China is a serious threat

But they are not the irresistible force that they claim to be

Yes the One Child policy was an unmitigated disaster, their govt. knows this now. So destructive in fact that China is accepting that they may eventually drop to as low as 800M people but are calling it a "better quality" of population. There may even be some truth in this axiom, time will tell.

 

[shockedcanadian]

I'm also going to let you Americans in on a secret that might shocked you....China is both more capitalist, Free Merket ANS innovative than Canada. I'm sorry you guys took the bait, I tried my damndest for 10+ years...

Clearly, Canada has a massive, unaccountable, soul destroying Security Industrial Complex. Many states in the U.S do as well. Should N America accept the inevitable and work to ensure they don't follow our follies and destroy ther nations soul as we have in some places? I believe this is the position European leaders are taking and for the future of humanity we should probably consider this position as well. Work to usher in a Renaissance Period in China as best as possible for the sake of everyone. They are an old civilization but have never had the type of global power/influence and vast technological advances they have now and will havenin the future.

Lol. No. The multipolar will surely rule the world!

A multipolar world refers to a situation where there are multiple centers of power and influence in the international system. This is in contrast to a unipolar world, where one country dominates, or a bipolar world, where two countries dominate.

In a multipolar world, power and influence are distributed among several countries, often resulting in a more balanced and stable international order. This is because no one country can completely dominate, and thus there is a need for cooperation and negotiation between the different poles of power.

Some examples of current poles of power include the United States, China, Russia, the European Union, and India. However, there are also emerging powers like Brazil, South Africa, and Indonesia that are starting to play a bigger role in international affairs.

A multipolar world presents both challenges and opportunities for countries. On the one hand, it allows for greater diversity and different perspectives to be brought into global decision-making.

On the other hand, it can also lead to increased competition and geopolitical tensions, especially if the different poles have conflicting interests.

Overall, the emergence of a multipolar world highlights the need for effective global governance and cooperation to address the many challenges facing the world today, from climate change and terrorism to economic inequality and cyber security.

Until one country creates the most advanced and dominant A.I via quantum computing and other methods. It is going to happen, rest assured.

Quantum computing is a myth and probably always will be.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Quantum computing is a myth and probably always will be.

Huh? Why do you say that? It may not ever be feasible at the consumer level but at the enterprise and government level it is very real.

China's not going to run the world. Relax.

 

[Unkotare]

China may pass us economically but they have almost five times the population to support
.....

Not for much longer.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

China's not going to run the world. Relax.

I agree. Not unless we commit political suicide via civil war and secession, or “terminate the rule of law” because some megalomaniac like Trump says we should …

The Chinese regime has plenty of problems, but also is developing sufficient military power to retake or crush Taiwan and carve out a regional hegemony in Southeast Asia.

China’s highly authoritarian state & economy already has the economic power to successfully compete internationally and its market power extends around the world. It must be both engaged economically and politically challenged by the democratic world if its internal democratic forces are to have any hope of winning out eventually.

The problem is that if the U.S. does stumble badly and cannot even keep its own democratic republic strong, if it cannot at least partially resolve its growing internal contradictions, if it cannot maintain its existing international alliances and financial place in world trade (or if it abuses and loses it), then growing Chinese power — like all power — will tend to fill the vacuum, and chances of military conflicts will increase.

 

[shockedcanadian]

You do realize that China was once the largest economy in the world by far. This was before the Industrial Revo!ution I believe which helped the West surpass Cina but they view themselves as historically warranted as the big global dog. Now with the world so much smaller and economic influence of one nation having far more weight than in the past, they will look to succeed with much greater control. This is a far different government type with far more advanced technology at their disposal. They are going to rule the world, we did it to ourselves.

 

[Unkotare]

Y...They are going to rule the world, ...

No they aren't. Relax.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Militarily, they are nowhere close to the US who extends military power around the world and has the worlds most powerful Navy.

They are gaining global influence but not nearly what the Western Powers can put together

I just had this conversation with a relative of mine in the military. It's not China's military we need to be concerned about. They can cripple us from the inside out. They own a ton of shit in our country, including companies that provide vital resources, farmland, several of our shipping ports, etc. You'll notice that China doesn't allow foreigners to invest in their nation the way we and other countries allow them to invest in ours. That's not an accident.

They WILL invade Taiwan and that's when this is going to be tested.

 

[shockedcanadian]

No they aren't. Relax.

Yeah. Relax, Germany isn't going to invade Poland. Or let's fast forward to 2022, as European leaders scoffed "Russia isn't going to invade Ukraine". Some were saying that it was U.S propagsnds and the war machine promoting lies...In fact, none other than Gary Kasparov said openly that he believed that Russia was just posturing and bluffing. People prefer to listen to them rather than intelligence agencies who warned of this event. Many of the same advisers are also warning of Chinas rise to sole super power status. The same deniers laughed at Chinas ability to innovate and compete as early as the 2000s... I don't believe China is going to attack until they are 100% certain the situation can't be resolved politicaly, and, until they are confident in rapid success. The are promoting a proud, Nationallistic population. History has shown in Japan and Germany what road this leads to.

 

[Unkotare]

Yeah. Relax, ...
