Now that USA is tearing itself apart and EU is getting (((enriched))), it's becoming more and more likely China will become the next world superpower.
How will you and your vagoo cope with this?

It was always likely that this would happen. They have literally four times the population of the U.S.

2. Geographically positioned to benefit from both sides. Military cooperation with the West, trade cooperation with the East
Isn't their economy just a meme bubble?

Not with their trash 1970s military they're not. you should be worried more about Russia. at least they have some semi-modern weapons and can build a working jet engine.
Their military is reforming fast. They've got the space technology down now, it won't be long before their military will make great leaps.
Hi there, Zhong.
Nah seriously. read up a bit on it. PLA has junk clones of old Russian weapon systems and their command structure really ineffective because CCP is afraid to let army commanders act on their own since they don't want military coup happening.

Please, what's happening now is nothing of significance.
This (((meme))) is so dumb.

China may not be a superpower but USA is definitely falling apart. I'm not even blaming Trump, the same would happen under Hillary.

2. The TPP fell out with America, so the deal will most likely commence with China added to it
We're becoming more and more aligned with China, and there's nothing wrong with that
Especially when 25 chink diaspora all show up here.
You have no idea what you're talking about Stephen. So a few celebrities and some sheltered college students are still mad their canidate lost, big deal. This country doesn't fall apart every time a controversial election happens.
It's more than just college students and celebrities, and this is by far the most controversial election we've had since the civil war.
If China wants to become a superpower, let alone the sole superpower, it needs to work hard on the innovation front.
Currently, China's model is to lower costs of production and corner the manufacturing industry, while ignoring international patent/trademark/copyright laws in producing their own national knock-off of foreign innovations to keep money and consumer spending within the national ecosystem.
It's disgraceful.
Look at their biggest car manufacturers, and how those are shitty clones of the cars made by americans/koreans/japanese. Look at all of their apps and how they're just the chinese knock-off of the american equivalent which was denied entry into China because of national interests reasons.
Their obsession with GDP +6% per annum will be the downfall if they only focus money on massive infrastructure projects (which can be good, but entire ghost cities are erected just to keep those numbers up), and focus on creating an environment of innovation and entrepreneurship.

>and focus on creating an environment of innovation and entrepreneurship
They won't because that would threaten power of CCP.
Completely divided partisan politics, runaway debt only getting worse, federal reserve running amok, racial tensions at all time high, long time allies pivoting away, drugs destroying the rust belt, dishonest mainstream media, violent crimes rising in many parts of the country, out of control obesity
Yep, nothing wrong with the present USA
China is hyper capitalistic, they don't have any laws that prevent companies from doing whatever they want. As long as the government continues this, China will be the most competitive country. They don't want to be a friendly welfare state like the western countries , they'll do everything to stay competitive. If this means to steal western ideas and innovation they'll do that as long as it's profitable.
This is troll, right? China is very much not hyper capitalistic. the state controls everything and private business can only exist if CCP wills it. there are strict limits on how much money private citizens can have, where they may invest it, and who can inherit it when they die. Most infrastructure projects are still carried out as part of centralized state planning. They do not want any base of wealth and power to form that can pose threat to CCP.

You gave yourself away, Jao Jing.
That doesn't mean anything, because the US has better people, a better system, and a geographical position that makes land invasion impossible.
This.
They'll move on to some new cause celebre in a few months.
Everything you've said has happened before and America is still here.

China is state capitalist, kinda like Japan and South Korea during their boom-eras.
And yes, this makes them still very competetive, because free-market capitalism has turned out to be a sham.
China is only competitive because it adopted or outright stole the techniques and technologies developed by free-market capitalism.
China also lacks any allies and almost all their neighboring countries are hostile to them. they have no combat experience either, the last war they fought was when they lose to Vietnamese militia almost 40 years ago. The US, French, and British militaries don't require routine visits from the president/PM to ensure their loyalty and all of them have recent combat experience.
Read about it. PLA keeps their nuclear missiles un-armed and unfueled and no one branch of the army is allowed sole control over them. this is to prevent rogue generals from seizing control of the nukes. the result is that if a war happened, it could take 30 minutes to fire a missile.
I also don't know what's with the commie German in here. I guess his grandparents used to be Stasi agents or something.
I don't think the Ost Deutsch have an appreciation for Marxist ideas.
The problem with your analysis is your thinking within the framework how China is now in the present which fundamentally limits your analysis. You need to think about China 5-10 years in the future, the time period where they have the opportunity to become the world superpower.
You'd think so but you're wrong. East Germany is a poor shithole and a drain on rest of the country, it's also where most commies and Nazis are found.
Getting back to topic, it's estimated that China spends more on internal security than external defense. Which means that CCP apparently fears their own people more than they do foreign enemies.

East Germany is better than Czechnia at least.

Continued: PLA used to be heavily involved in economic activities. They would operate their own factories and manufacture consumer goods, and also raise their own food for army units. they also had their own hotels, bars, and theaters, the profits from which lined pockets of top army generals.
In 1998, PLA was directed by CCP to withdraw from economic activities and focus only on defense. However, many army officers simply became sneakier about money-making. one of more notorious practices being the selling of PLA automobile licence plates to the highest bidder. Civilians with no connection to the military could use plates to get free gasoline and other perks.
Several PLA generals were investigated for corruption since 2000 and selling off army posts to the highest bidder. This means that a lot of high ranking general bought their position and aren't necessarily qualified for the job. None of which is good thing for army readiness.
Most Chinese equipment consists of clones of Russian hardware and China has yet to build a reliable, working jet engine. Russia is happy to sell Beijing premade military gear, but has no interest in helping their neighbor develop their indigenous armaments industry.
Despite Beijing's press releases about military modernization, a lot of it is extremely doubtful. The United States is mostly in the dark about the PLA and its capabilities, in fact the US knows less about them than they do the Soviet military of the 1970s. While the US had frequent diplomatic contacts with Moscow at the height of the Cold War, as well as substantial intelligence on Soviet capabilities, far less exists for China. The US military and PLA have next to no contact with each other, and most US intelligence capabilities nowadays are directed at Islamic terrorism and other more pressing concerns.
As such, it is difficult to believe China's claims about new weapon systems, if they're actually true and not simple propaganda, or if they even work at all. After all, China does not have a free and open press. What we do know is that a 21st century military is fantastically expensive, and the United States is the only nation on the planet which has state-of-the-art military gear in all categories.
Why are you so afraid of this qt? Your insecurity is showing.
Although China faces mounting international pressure to make its defense budget more transparent, the truth is that most officials in Beijing probably don't even know where half the money is going. The situation is reminiscent of the Imperial Qing army during the war with Japan in 1894, when corrupt generals stole huge amounts of money and many of the artillery shells in the naval fleet had been replaced with rocks.
One factor hampering the effectiveness of the PLA as a combat force is the fact that considerable amounts of time are spent learning political doctrine rather than practical military skills. In spite of this, the CCP has continued to insist on the importance of ideological training for army officers and rejected the idea of depoliticizing the armed forces. Party cadres are numerous throughout the PLA, and membership in the CCP is virtually a necessity to obtain army ranks higher than that of a noncom.
This is partially because the CCP has maintained for over 25 years that the collapse of the Soviet Union was due to a lapse in political indoctrination of the Soviet military. In particular, the August 1991 coup which failed due to the lack of interest by troops in fighting to save the dying communist system. In 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping stated outright that the USSR had collapsed because it had failed to keep its army adequately indoctrinated.

On the other hand, the exact role of the PLA in politics is unclear. However, since the late 1990s, the CCP has made a conscious effort to remove the PLA from a direct role in high level decision-making. No army general has sat on the Central Committee since 1997.
The CCP numbers about 2.3 million members, roughly 6% of China's total population. Membership is open to any Chinese citizen upon turning 18. Party members may not practice a religious faith, aside from that, there are no other requirements. Membership of the CCP is prestigious and a requirement for any high ranking state or military posts, although not as prestigious as it was in the Cold War era.
Political ideology is still important to the regime, although its role has become more muddled since the end of the Cold War. There are still vocal Marxists/Maoists despite the CCP's attempts to marginalize them, most notably the now disgraced Chunking Party Secretary Bo Xilai, an ardent believer in returning to Mao-era mass campaigns and central planning. Justification for the one party government is generally answered with arguments that multiparty democracy is inefficient and cannot rapidly modernize the nation. However, Premier Wen Jiabao, in a 2011 interview with CNN, praised the Arab Spring as "the will of the people" and spoke of China's need for more accountable, transparent government, although he was vague on what this entailed.
The CCP still rigidly controls media outlets, although not as extensively as it did in the Mao era. There is a significant amount of investigative journalism in China, which is often exploited by competing political factions to undermine their enemies.
The event of the Internet has created a new form of media, and it is also more important among young Chinese than more traditional media like TV and newspapers. The CCP monitors Internet posts closely as a gauge of public opinion, although like the Internet in every country, the Chinese Web tends to attract extremist beliefs. Some China experts believe that the country's foreign policy, including recent aggressive moves in the South China Sea, has been motivated by angry nationalistic blog posts.
