Yeah, not surprised. Everyone looks at China, US, Russia, EU, ambiguous "global south", etc. Far too people are watching the new upcoming global superpower, fully entering the information age (and corresponding skill-based economy) with a full head of steam (and the air quality to prove it), that never made the mistake of a one child policy.

The real reason China cannot afford to try attacking Taiwan without a very high chance of a quick success. Their actual greatest competitor, that could easily displace their regional position. That maintains careful diplomacy with other powers, not really alienating anyone.

It's a clever strategy, ideally suited to swoop in and take advantage of any Chinese errors. Pretty much anywhere they make one.

Things can change fast these days. It's a function of your ability to improve your methodologies, and it's about setting yourself up for success through hard work and trying to improve. Not just being magically perfect from day one.

Its about cutting corners at every single opportunity they have a long way to go, additionally I would suspect major civil unrest in the next 5-10 years unless they completly change how their society is structured.

Anyone investing capital right now is foolish, thats why I say good luck.

Ah, yes. They do have their fair share of domestic problems, certainly. I don't think it'll be enough to halt their momentum though.

And anyways, they'll simply be the fourth "superpower" on the scene, assuming we count the EU.
