China will rollover in a hot second if it suits their needs in the moment. Always has. Always will. Outclassed is just a word until you're the one outclassed. Literally everything about China is fake. They're not even a paper tiger. They're an AI render of a paper tiger not worth the trouble to print.

"Fake" is the future, and China is already positioned to deliver it:) I don't see globalists and Beijing being at odds here, China is their darling. I would prefer a multipolar world with some resemblance of competition and alternative systems, but that hope also feels fake to me. The future is not looking Western or white, so it might as well belong to one of the most productive and compliant cultural groups, which is already building the social credit and AI control grid.

Fake and more fake. China is fake. It's literally just a facade, a parody. The Chinese are LESS productive per man hour than virtually any modern place in the world. This autumn is the beginning of the next great famine of China. And they've had multiple famines in the past. Look to see a decline in the global population of more than a BILLION people over the next two years. Or, things might get bad.

China has its own strange business culture, but it also has a presence in the world’s marketplace that would be hard to replace, especially now, when the West is busy deindustrializing itself. In that future you don’t get to manufacture nice things, that may be the unspoken law. I have a hard time taking things in black and white. It’s already difficult enough to see healthy economic developments. I don’t want to add more items to an unhappy watch list:)
