What's China's Endgame?

[kybkh]

I mean, are we just going to let them keep developing weapons until they can BTFO the USN? Shouldn't we have learned something from Korea? Chinks don't blink. So unless we are planning a Ugher uprising or a US funded Mongolian Invasion, WTF is the likely outcome?

[brewster]

Same endgame as us for the last century. Being a superpower. Using everything from economic dependence to military intimidation to dominate their region, other strategic areas, and areas ripe for exploitation via debt the way the World Bank & US contractors did it for ages. They're using "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" as a manual.

Who’s going to stop them? Marxists in America want to be China, and none of them join the military, and Soy Boys wouldn’t be accepted if they did.

Why would you even care? I thought most of you here wanted out of that whole superpower race? Do you really want, or need, to be allies with Japan, South Korea, do you really, want or need to be best buds with Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam? That's just more militaries for you to subsidize, ain't it? Just leave Asia to the Asians?

My God, Euros can be so jealous.

We’re allies with Japan because they fucked with us and got taken to the woodshed.

Maybe soon we’ll be allies with China.

[Speaker to Animals]

China will not be a superpower as long as the communist party controls the government. It's a giant potemkin village.

[DBTrek]

China’s rural population can absorb a nuclear war more easily than our urban-centric nation tho. That’s a bummer.

[Speaker to Animals]

You mean all our democrats would get incinerated? Not sure how we will cope.

China's rural population probably is lamenting the possibility of losing their urbanites as well.
