Complete and total world domination through financial means, which is so far working well.

>per capita GDP of $6800

They still export something like 50 million manhours. "Core" countries import manhours. That is, they have labor done in other countries and reap the benefit, dividing surplus value among non-productive enterprise (financial and service sectors, for example).

Building up their paper tiger empire just so they can inevitably collapse again.

People say this but then immediately start crying foul of you talk about per person carbon emissions. It's an annoying hypocrisy.

China is stable.

For now. Remember Japan also began looking like a powerhouse in the 80s-90s but then regressed and struggled after reaching 1st world status.

Totalitarian states can at best be an ersatz superpower as the USSR was.

If China reaches first world status it will still dwarf the US and Europe by sheer size. Population of the EU (507M) + US (318M) is just 61% of China's current population.

I mean, with so many men, so little women, and a huge population, it wouldn't be a bad idea for some to become traps/sissies/trannies.

But therein lays the problem which is that China is vastly too overpopulated for their own good. They need at least 600 million fewer people.

If China is going to follow the same arc as Japan it is a long time from reaching it... The problem is that the global capitalism system depends on having an exploitable "global south". If China does raise itself to the level of countries like Poland, for example, there is a question about whether the global system can even sustain it, because the middle of the pyramid will grow wider than its base, leading to collapse. This is at the base of much of the uneasiness about China's accession.

It was the shitty planning that did USSR in. Being totalitarian in and of itself has no bearing on prosperity, Singapore and now China provide strong arguments for technocratic authoritarian governments that enforce mixed economies and only use capitalism as a tool rather than America where we view it as an ideology.

>Being totalitarian in and of itself has no bearing on prosperity
Actually it does. You cannot have a functional society with the state micromanaging everything and there being no rule of law or checks or balances on state power.

It'll eventually slow down though because unlike Japan, they still refuse to open up and take ideas from the west and have a government planned economy.

Right now, all they're doing is the same thing Lenin did with Russia after WW1, and just copying the blueprint that capitalism created for modernization, but unless they actually become a capitalist democracy, they'll just fall behind again because government is terrible at planning the economy without an already established blueprint.

Singapore is ultra capitalist unlike China you mong.

This is just ideology imo.

Literally every single superpower before the united states was a totalitarian state.

Times change leaf

Yeah they do, and that's the problem with China. They're great at copying shit, but aren't innovative or original at all.

Hmmmmm

Go shill your paywall news site somewhere else.

Killing Tibetans and claiming to be communist but then not really being communist

Totalitarianism in the form we generally define it didn't exist before the 20th century.

They are ""communist"" in the same way Russia was communist between WW1 and ww2.

>Every serious China watcher has a handy list of Chairman Mao quotes, and for each controversial move that his successors took, one can produce a quote from Mao, usually from the Cultural Revolution era, of him opposing this idea, sometimes violently so. But much like the Bible, Mao's books cover a wide range of contingencies.

>After nearly two decades in Beijing, the Globe and Mail bureau had become a staggering repository of Mao quotes. There were little red books and big red books and bulky selected works and thin monographs of poetry, long interviews and endless speeches, learned studies and propagandistic potboilers. He talked and wrote a lot, the utterances ranging from the militant and bombastic to the quietly conciliatory, the mystical, and the practical down-to-earth sense. Much like the Christian Church, the CCP were left wondering what to do with all this holy writ.

>Mao loved contradictions and often was at odds with himself. He could one day promote calm reasoning against ideological enemies and the next day brute force. He was everything and anything you wanted him to be. In the twilight years of his life, he had reasserted his political power by creating a vision of permanent revolution that would inspire romantics everywhere, in spite of the chaos and terror it inflicted on most of the nation. In rejecting Maoism, Deng Xiaoping needed only to reference Mao quotes which happened to agree with his ideologies; there were more than enough of the chairman's writings to back him up.

>Indeed Mao himself knew that this would come to pass. He predicted that after his death, his enemies would use his own words to justify their ascent to power. It is not surprising that Mao had to suppress much of his earlier works for the same reason. The Globe and Mail managed to collect a vast storehouse of it, divided neatly between those works which were ideologically acceptable at the present and those which had been banned. One of the most pathetic examples is a copy of Mao's Little Red Book from 1967 that had been edited by Lin Biao. After Lin's fall, the nervous interpreter snipped out pictures of Mao standing next to Lin with captions referring to him as the chairman's "comrade in arms". It went beyond that; the interpreter went so far as to scratch out any mention of Lin Biao's name in the book.

>In their ascent to power, the Dengists have effectively redirected the discontent of the masses away from the CCP and towards that all-purpose monster, the Gang of Four. Mao himself was the best ally in this campaign, not in the least because his body was safely placed in a glass coffin in Beijing.

Indeed. To this day, you normally cannot obtain copies of Mao's complete, unexpurgated works in China, only edited versions that agree with the CCP's current ideologies.

nuking yanks hopefully

explain pls

wtf I love chinks now

t. chink

I was recently reading that China is trying to heavily invest infrastructure. They are also building roads, connecting their neighbors like, Vietnam, Laos and Tajikistan. They are also investing in African industry and taking on their debnts for something in return.

Gold backed Yuan.
