100%, I know that China might have not became hegemonic nation in the world after defeating USA. But, you guys need to imagine if China rules the world in stead of the United States.
It would be happy, or not for you? I'd like to know. If does, Japan would not make anime that is based on the western nations anymore. Every anime girl would become like Mongolians from now.
It's working out quite well for Finland. They keep investing billions here.
Jonathan Myers
Im ok with that
Easton Williams
america > china
For all their problems, at least america sort of has ideals that they were founded on/put value in, that are actually pretty rational and good.
'Socialism with Chinese characteristics' is pretty insidious and awful. I do not think they would be a preferable superpower.

China is more culturally bankrupt than the US so that's bit of a downer. I don't want even stricter ideological control.
David Wilson
I choose Chine because they just mind their own business without showing off their ass across the oceans.
Ryan Perry
Chinese invest billions everywhere because their money is safer anywhere but China.
Wyatt Adams
USA doesn't rule the world, that's why what they're doing now is stupid. They have a network of allies and relationships that ensures they have sway beyond their already great size and power. However Trump is trying to leverage their power and position in a way that damages those relationships and alliances. Should china attempt to do as america, they would also have to make those relationships and alliances the way the americans did. They would have to give up on teritorial expansions like claiming the SCS and work on convincing nations they are worthy of trust and that they will be good partners in trade, diplomacy and coexistence. In short they would have to become USA to be what USA is (or was, depending on your pessimism). China as it is can never lay claim to the same power the americans have as they are now due to a gap in soft power.
Austin Robinson
that would probably change though.
You can kinda see it in the whole South China Sea thing. It doesn't affect you directly but it does affect many other countries.
Joseph Perez
The future is multipolar. American global hegemony is coming to an end, and China will have strong influence over certain regions.
Leo Perez
someone translate this shit into decent one as you like please

bretty ok
>war everyone >nearly everyone you made war with is collaborating with china on deals or projects
the SCS is their backyard of course their autistic about it
well, tell me which country has been ordering everyone else how to live

>which country has been ordering everyone else how to live Consider how China tells its citizens to live and then ask yourself whether yankee runaway liberalism is really that bad by comparison. I know you singaporeans are raised to be soulless drones that even mainlanders would find offputting but at least try this thought exercise.
Kayden Watson
Your thinking china cares about your society outside of trade
For example, germany's 2nd largest trading partner is china, are you seeing people promoting maoism anywhere?
Brayden Jenkins
Anime girls look western because the nips admire westerners. For them to start drawing anime girls looking like chinks would require the nips to look up to, admire, and desire to be like the chinks.
Angel Reyes
>Your thinking china cares about your society outside of trade No. Of course they don't. The PRC cares about resources, be it materials or expertise. Thankfully Finland has neither so we'd be left alone either way.
Nicholas Garcia
even in places where there are both they don't care how you run your country, so as long as it remains friendly and isnt batshit insane.
Henry Hall
then explain why they pay people to protest falun dafa and the dalai lama, and they constantly put pressure on media companies not to make anything that triggers their sensibilities.
>are you seeing people promoting maoism anywhere? actually yes hipster communists are very common in europe
also it means chinese immigration
Camden Murphy
>actually yes hipster communists are very common in europe is it funded by china? >chinese immigration
what? EU isnt canada/nz/aus
Camden Cooper
It doesn't mean that China has a right to intervene just because it's an 'internal issue' i.e. politically sensitive issue.
it's also curious that you ignored my third point
Kevin Turner
>what? EU isnt canada/nz/aus for now the yellow peril is always watching
Christian Torres
There are still rational people in the US, and China. I'm not going to turn against my cunt, but I surely wont fight WW3 over something Trump says or does. Hopefully this is just political dick waving and nothing more.
Daniel Ramirez
>is it funded by china? they used to fund them, yes. It wouldn't surprise me if they still did, like they do with the Naxalites in India.
>what? EU isnt canada/nz/aus
there are Chinese literally everywhere
Cooper Scott
>>implying that China can defeat the US in a war
Not in a "war" but a comercial war
Austin Powell
Sure, if europeans all decide to give up on higher education that might happen
every major city sure, but you seem to be exaggerating this as if we're some omnipotent horde
on the third one they don't want you spouting things that might internal trouble for them, would you like it if chinese news outlets suddenly started going at the EU and joined in on all the news sites harping on refugees as being the apocalypse?
They don't want to resort to the game of "if you start shit in my cunt I'll fund independence movements in yours"
Julian Nelson

Austin Martinez
At best, China's hegemony will be in East Asia, SEA and Oceania
