[QUOTE="Kuma, post: 1445874, member: 21659"] China will not be the global hegemon it desires to be. Study the paths of empire and you will see they have been wildly unsuccessful at doing what the successful ones have done throughout history. That is, they have not brought other countries under the banner of common language, ideology, and religion. These are the commonalities that were used by the Romans, French, English, Spanish and a number of Muslim states. They lack expeditionary experience and recent military experience, and in fact much colonial experience outside China; a weakness dating back to the beginning of their state. The Communist government is utterly tone-deaf and inept toward their treatment of other ethnic groups; a fact that was extraordinarily prevalent in this year's New Years gala, which featured such highlights as Chinese dancers dressed as Spanish Flamenco Bullfighters and other Chinese posing as full-on blackface Africans. They have growing economic advantages that are already beginning to fray, and a military advantage based on numbers and nascent technological parity. But that huge army will turn into a logistical nightmare in an actual war, and the technological parity is largely an illusion based on stolen tech from the West (They've got what we've got, now, but their technology mill is anything but creative). There is a growing, quiet distrust of the government, which grows stronger the further you get from Beijing. China is also becoming a global pariah due to the Corona virus lies and wolf warrior diplomacy, and they are no longer trusted. Europe is already starting to realize that the US, though we don't always give them their way, is closer to them historically-culturally-politically-and ideologically than Xi's power grab. At minimum the Anglo world will hold against China, and more likely the entire Euroamerican sphere plus India and a number of other significant states will join. Russia, as always, is ambivalent. Much of the world will get what they can from China economically and then cut and run. When the gloves drop, Europe's coming with us. [/QUOTE]
