I agree with this.

Fortunately some countries that would love to be that, knows it is not in the cards for a variety of reasons.

And as to Singapore -- it's a wonderful place. WIth virtually zero raw materials, so it knows its role.

hmm is this trustworthy ? China no interest in displacing US as world leader.

It seems true that China seldom interferes with other Countries affairs unless it affects/threatens them, but they have strong ambitions in my opinion

I have some doubts.. may or may not be truth

China absolutely wants to rule the world. Chu means middle, center. Center kingdom.


The red han think they are the center of the world. They have different classifications for barbarians yet they eat wierd animals and monkey brains and cause PLA bioweapon COVID-19


Beware of the red dragon. It lies in wait to conquer all under heaven.


Look what happened to tibet, xinjiang, and hong kong. Taiwan is next.


Don't but made in china as much as possible. otherwise, you'll end up like george floyd or have your organs harvested like a uigher.

They want to rule the world economically and thus politically. China's primary desire is that every financial route in the world ultimately runs back to China. In the world order China has disrupted and seeks to dominate, military supremacy is less important than economic supremacy. Controlling a nation or region's economy is more effective (and profitable) in the modern world than having your soldiers patrolling it.

right, the US is doing exactly the latter, that's why china or anyone else has no intention to displace the less profitable position as world leader

I agree with Dangerous Boy, but not necessarily for the same reasons. China wants to dominate the world of finance because that’s what will ensure it’s long term prosperity.

When it comes to the military, China can only project itself in a limited capacity at this stage. They are already surrounded by three other nuclear powers, and have to contend with the US on the Pacific, which is a limiting factor.

As far as foreign intervention goes, the Chinese most certainly take active part in those. They just do it by buying foreign politicians.

China wants to rule the world, and they're making moves and taking steps to make that happen. They never do anything overtly, it's always cloaked in obfuscation and misdirection, much like a magician. They have spies all over the world. Every Chinese embassy in the world is a nest of spies. The people are sneaky, greedy, and will cheat you in a heartbeat if the opportunity presents itself. There are a lot of Chinese people and the competition among them is fierce, and they take that attitude into the world. At any one time, the FBI has over 100 cases of espionage in some stage of investigation, from weapons to biotech. The next POTUS had better be on top of it. Do some research and you'll see.

China wants to dominate financially. The rest of the world shouldn't be worried physically. All bark no bite.
