China's only hope is the South African land grab they got going on. If they can harvest enough minerals from the land it might be possible but the Chinks are going to be able to control the nogs for very long.

Ironically the yellow man taking over the world would be the only thing that would save the white race.

As long as they take over Africa and push the negroes into the sea,im ok with it.

They can have it, it sucks being at the top. Probably will suck for everyone when China takes the top. But the poos may try and give them a run for their money.

China played Russia's grudge against the West masterfully, I must admit.

China doesn’t see blacks as equal. They don’t see it as their moral, ethical obligation to feed infinity niggers.

Interesting to think about but extremely unlikely. China has too many internal problems to really become a world power. It will be stuck as a regional power. Japan has a larger navy then China. Plus India and Vietnam will steal the industrial powerbase that china has.

they're gonna fight back

I imagine myself in Chinese-occupied America, leading my Platoon. Our mission is to stop wh*Te dogs from advancing. We mow down wh*Te dogs but they keep coming.

Then I get shot, but I didn't fall, I kept fighting. Then shot again and again. wh*Tes were shooting me from a distance like the cowards they are. I lie down, facing up to sky and I see LAOZI (Taoism) smiling at me, I smile back… Then I woke up, in China, my homeland. My BLACK brethen gave me a warm welcome to heaven.

>government fighting for its people
Oh my sweet summer child

I think it's a premise that became implausibly outdated about a decade ago

>brookings.edu/articles/chinas-population-destiny-the-looming-crisis/

>China has entered a new demographic era. Its mortality rate has dropped to a level not very different from that of the developed countries. It fertility has dropped to a level lower than that of many developed countries, including the United States, Britain, and France—indeed, it is among the lowest in the world.
>[. . .]
>China’s demographic future— is declining fertility. For nearly two decades, the average number of children a couple is expected to produce has been less than 2, recently falling as low as approximately 1.5. Such a number is below the replacement level (the level required for a population to maintain its size in the long run).

>Major fertility reduction in China took even less time. In just one decade, from 1970 to 1980, the total fertility rate (TFR) was more than halved, from 5.8 to 2.3, a record unmatched elsewhere. (TFR extrapolates an average woman’s fertility over her lifetime from a society’s fertility rate in a given year.) In contrast to Western European countries, where it took 75 years or longer to reduce TFR from around 5 to the replacement level, in China a similar decline took less than two decades. As a result, in 2008, China’s rate of population growth was only 5 per thousand, down from over 14 per thousand in 1990 and 25 per thousand in 1970. Such a compressed process of demographic transition means that, compared with other countries in the world, China will have far less time to prepare its social and economic infrastructure to deal with the effects of a rapidly aging [p]opulation.
>[. . .]
>For the most part, China has exhausted its demographic fortune as measured by the demographic dividend—that is, by the changing support ratio between effective producers and effective consumers. Between 1982 and 2000, China enjoyed an average annual rate of growth in the support ratio of 1.28 percent. Using the World Bank’s figure of per capita annual income growth during this same period, 8.4 percent, we find that the demographic dividend accounted for 15 percent of China’s economic growth. Today, the net gain due to favorable demographic conditions has been reduced to only one-fifth of the average level maintained from 1982 to 2000

realclearworld.com/articles/2017/03/07/chinas_economy_continues_to_decline_112242.html
>Chinese Premier Li Keqiang told the National People’s Congress that China’s GDP growth rate would drop from 7 percent in 2016 to 6.5 percent this year. In 2016, the country’s growth rate was the lowest it had been since 1990. The precision with which any country’s economic growth is measured is dubious, since it is challenging to measure the economic activity of hundreds of millions of people and businesses. But the reliability of China’s economic numbers has always been taken with a larger grain of salt than in most countries. We suspect the truth is thatChina’s economy is growing lessthan 6.5 percent, if at all.

>The important part of Li’s announcement is that the Chinese government is signaling that it has not halted a decline in the Chinese economy, and that more economic pain is on the way. According to the BBC, Li said the Chinese economy’s ongoing transformation is promising, but it is also painful. He likened the Chinese economy to a butterfly struggling to emerge from its cocoon. Put another way, there are hard times in China that likely will become worse.

>China’s economic miracle,like that of Japan before it, is over. Its resurrection simply isn’t working, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. Sustained double-digit economic growth is possible when you begin with a wrecked economy. In Japan’s case, the countrywas recovering from World War II. China was recovering from Mao Zedong’s policies. Simply by getting back to work an economy will surge. If the damage from which the economy is recovering is great enough, that surge can last a generation.

>But extrapolating growth rates by a society that is merely fixing the obvious results of national catastrophes is irrational. The more mature an economy, the more the damage has been repaired and the harder it is to sustain extraordinary growth rates. The idea that China was going to economically dominate the world was as dubious as the idea in the 1980s that Japan would. Japan, however, could have dominated if its growth rate would have continued. But since that was impossible, the fantasy evaporates –and with it, the overheated expectations of the world.

>and China’s urgent attempts to maintain exports by keeping its currency low and utilize irrational banking created a political backlash when China could least endure it – which is now. China has a massive industrial system linked to the appetites of the United States and Europe. It is losing competitive advantage at the same time that political systems in some of these countries are generating new barriers to Chinese exports. There is talk of increasing China’s domestic demand, but China is a vast and poor country, and iPads are expensive. It will be a long time before the Chinese economy generates enough demand to consume what its industrial system can produce.

>The U.S. is China’s greatest threat. President Donald Trump is threatening the one thing that China cannot withstand: limits on China’s economic links to the United States. In addition, China must have access to the Pacific and Indian oceans for its exports. That means controlling the South and East China seas. As we have previously written, the U.S. is aggressively resisting that control.

>Faced with this same problem in the past, Japan turned into a low-growth, but stable, country. But Japan did not have a billion impoverished people to deal with, nor did it have a history of social unrest and revolution. China’s problem is no longer economic – its economic reality has been set. It now has a political problem: how to manage massive disappointment in an economy that is now simply ordinary. It also must determine how to manage international forces, particularly the United States, that are challenging China and its core interests. One move China is making is convincing the world that it remains what it was a decade ago. That strategy could work for a while, but many continue viewing China through a lens that broke long ago. But reality is reality. China no longer is the top owner of U.S. government debt, an honor that goes to Japan. China’s rainy day fund is being used up, and that reveals its deepest truth: When countries have money they must keep safe, they bank in the U.S.

>China carried out a great –and impressive – surge. But now it is just another country struggling to figure out what its economy needs and what its politics permit.

Probably won't happen without a fight. We're moving rapidly toward conflict with China and Russia. The OWO who still cling onto US hegemony will not allow the Chinese to build Silk road 2.0 at all costs. China is starting to get the picture.

>phys.org/news/2016-09-china-infrastructure-investments-threaten-economic.html

>A new study by the Saïd Business School finds that low-quality infrastructure investments pose significant risk to the Chinese and the global economy. It argues that over half of the infrastructure investments in China have destroyed rather than generated economic value.

>The study authored by Atif Ansar, Bent Flyvbjerg, Alexander Budzier and Daniel Lunn is based on the largest dataset of its kind. It analyses 95 large Chinese road and rail transport projects, and 806 transport projects built in rich democracies.

>'From our sample, the evidence suggests that for over half of the infrastructure investments in China made in the last three decades the costs are larger than the benefits they generate, which means the projects destroyeconomic value instead of generating it,' comments Dr Ansar.

>'Unless China shifts to fewer and higher-quality infrastructure investments the country is headed for an infrastructure-led national financial and economic crisis, which is likely to spread to the international economy,' he adds.

>The study, published in theOxford Review of Economic Policy, dispels the conventional wisdom that China has a distinct advantage over other countries in the delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects.

>It finds that actual infrastructure construction costs in China are on average 30.6% higher than estimated costs, which it assesses as a level consistent with global trends. Also, that three-quarters of transport projects in China came in over budget.

>The study also argues that traffic using major road projects in China represent two extremes which hamper economic growth. It says two thirds of roads have low use (average shortfall of 41.2%), while one third are congested with an average traffic surplus of 61.4%.

>Road and rail projects in China took 4.3 years on average to build, compared to 6.9 years in rich democracies. However, a growing importance on issues such as cost, safety and the environment is lengthening construction schedules in China, says the study.

>'Our estimate is that infrastructure cost overruns have equalled approximately one-third of China's US$28.2 trillion debt. The investment boom in projects with poor outcomes has created harmful macroeconomic consequences, with China being the most indebted of 25 emerging markets,' says Dr Ansar.

>'It is a myth that China grew thanks largely to heavy infrastructure investment. It grew due to boldeconomicliberalisation and institutional reforms, and this growth is now threatened by over-investment in low-grade infrastructure. The lesson for other markets is that policy makers should place their attention on software and deep institutional reforms, and exercise far greater caution in diverting scarce resources to large-scale physicalinfrastructureprojects,' concludes Dr Ansar.

>China’s military buildup, along with an aggressive foreign policy, has inspired a fair amount of alarm in the West. Some American policymakers consider Beijing to be Washington’s only “near-peer competitor”—in other words, the only country with the military might to actually beat the U.S. military in certain circumstances.

>But they’re wrong. Even after decades of expensive rearmament, China is a paper dragon—a version of what Mao Zedong wrongly claimed the United States was… in 1956.

>The PLA ground forces number 1.25 million men and women divided into 18 group armies, each similar to an American corps. Each army consists of three to five infantry and mechanized divisions—China has only one tank division.

>These ground troops are mostly for homeland defense. For power projectionoutsideits borders, China has three airborne divisions, two marine divisions and three marine brigades. Major equipment includes more than 7,000 tanks and 8,000 artillery pieces.

>China’s navy commands 255,000 sailors and 10,000 marines. The People’s Liberation Army Navy is divided into the North, East and South Seas Fleets, together possessing one aircraft carrier[LMAO], 23 destroyers, 52 frigates, 49 diesel attack submarines and five nuclear attack subs. China has at least threeJin-class ballistic missile submarines, representing Beijing’s nuclear deterrent at sea.

It'll take as long as demographic replacement takes to finally collapses the US.

>China borders 14 countries, tying Russia for the most neighbors. But while many of Russia’s neighbors are peaceful—Estonia, Finland, Norway and Latvia come to mind—China borders Afghanistan, North Korea, Myanmar and Pakistan. Two of these states have nuclear weapons.

>North Korea is particularly dangerous. Not only does it practice diplomacy through spontaneous violence, it has nukes. Nobody knows when—or if—the North Korean government will collapse, but the idea of 24 million starving people suddenly finding themselves without a government is a frightening one for Beijing.

>At the same time, China is remarkably lacking in real, dependable allies. In the Pacific alone, the United States can count Japan, Taiwan, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand and The Philippines as close allies—and maintains cordial relations with others including Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia.

>China’s list of allies in the Pacific, on the other hand, is a short one. Russia. Globally, China’s allies include Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and the countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization—Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. All are despotic or near-despotic states, many are unstable and many have long records of human rights abuses.

>Beijing embraces its worst neighbors in part to keep them in check. This worked with Pakistan, but failed with North Korea. In Myanmar, China cozied up with the oppressive military regime only for it to suddenly open up and seek ties with the West and Japan. China’s net gain was years of condemnation for supporting the junta—which is to say, a net loss.

>Where China hasreallyfailed, however, is in simply getting along with nearby countries. Before the recent confrontation with The Philippines over the Ayungin Shoal, relations between Manila and Beijing had never been better. The same went for much of Southeast Asia before Chinadeclared sovereignty over 90 percent of the South China Sea.

>Sometime around 2010, Beijing decided to stop playing nice. China began pushing long-dormant territorial claims—and tried its hardest to split the alliance between Japan and the U.S. China’s relations with pretty much every country in East and Southeast Asia have chilled.

>Whatever the case, China’s recent actions have left it largely friendless. Today its most important relationships with other countries are strictly economic in nature.

>This has obvious implications for China’s military posture. While the U.S. Navy can sail across the Pacific and call on practically dozens of ports, China’s warships can sail just outside its territorial waters and, other than the Russian port of Vladivostok, have nowhere to go.

>One way to look at defense spending is as a percentage of GDP. China’s major neighbors, with the exception of Japan, allocate more to their militaries as a percentage of their respective GDPs. India allocates 2.5 percent, South Korea 2.8 percent and Russia 4.1 percent. The United States, with the best-equipped military on the planet, spends 3.8 percent of its GDP on defense.

>The paradox of China’s military budget is that spending has risen even as defense’s share of the economy has dropped. As a percentage of the economy, China’s arms spending has actually fallen by a little more than 20 percent. Beijing spent 2.6 percent of GDP on defense in 1989. Between 2002 and 2010, it appropriated an average of 2.1 percent. In 2013, China’s military budget accounted for just two percent of GDP.

>By some calculations, in 2013 China spent more on"public security—Internet censorship, law enforcement and the paramilitary People’s Armed Police—than it did on external defense. China’s internal security budget for 2014is a secret, leading to speculation that once again, the Chinese Communist Party is spending more to defend itself from its own people than from other countries.

>The Party knows what it’s doing. Many Chinese are unhappy living under a totalitarian regime. Environmental damage,labor abuses,corruptionandland grabscan—and do—quickly escalate into riots.

China is a paper tiger, name some wars they fought outside of East Asia

oh wait they literally never have, and their economy is purely based on how much 1st world nations consume. a single depression in the global market would lead to mass starvation of hundreds of millions of filthy chink rats

>On top of that, China must contend with low-level unrest in the far western province ofXinjiang—where ethnic Uighurs resent colonization by the rest of China—and inTibet.

>Matching U.S. military spending as a percentage of GDP would require China to spend 5.8 percent on internal and external defense. That’s just not a realistic prospect. Only three countries devote that much of their economy to their armies—Saudi Arabia, Oman and South Sudan.

>Moreover, the dollars Chinadoesspend on external military force don’t stretch as far as most observers assume. “Throughout much of the post-1978 reform era, the real-world effects of China’s nominal defense spending have been mitigated heavily by rampant inflation,”wroteAndrew Erickson, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College.

>In 2008, China’s spent 14.9 percent more on defense than it did in 2007. But that 14.9-percent increase coincided with 7.8-percent inflation, resulting in a net military-budget boost of only 7.1 percent. In 2010, defense spending rose 7.8 percent and wasdevouredby a 6.7-percent inflation rate, for a net gain of just 1.1 percent.

Look what is happening around the world. Europe proposed an alternative to the SWIFT system. This is another nail into the coffin of the USD reserve status. All these timelines of when China will over take the US are meaningless in this context. The USD and the US hegemony is now directly threatened and war is always the solution. These projections are only based on a world with Dollar hegemony. Throw all those projections out the window when the world starts to reject the dollar. We'll be a 3rd world country over night unless we defend it with our military.

>WE WANT LESS CHINA MADE!!!

>Corruption is a huge and largely invisible problem for the PLA. Officials sell government property for their own profit. Contractors charge inflated fees for substandard work. Cronyism results in promotions for unqualified personnel.

>Beijing has occasionally cracked down on corrupt officers. In 2007, a judge handed down a suspended death sentence to Vice Adm. Wang Shouye for embezzling $25 million in PLA funds.

>Police arrested Wang in 2006 after the admiral refused blackmail demands from one of his many mistresses. Investigators found more than $8 million dollars stashed in microwave ovens and refrigerators in Wang’s homes in Beijing and Nanjing and another $2.5 million in a washing machine. There was evidence of an additional $8 million in pilfered funds in Wang’s bank accounts.

>In March, police detainedXu Caihou, a retired general and former member of the powerful Central Military Commission, on allegations he made millions of dollars selling military ranks. Xu was in charge of high-level army promotions from 2004 to 2013.

>We don’t know exactly how much money Xu made. However, the general’s subordinateGu Junshan—who is also in custody and under investigation—gave Xu’s daughter a debit card worth $3.2 million as a wedding gift.

>Gu reportedly sold “hundreds” of military ranks. “If a senior colonel [not in line for promotion] wanted to become a major general, he had to pay up to $4.8 million,”a source told Reuters.

>Morale in the PLA officer corps has tanked in the wake of the Gu Junshan scandal, According to Reuters. “Many fear punishment. Those who are able but passed over for promotion are disgruntled.”

>AMERICAN MADE IS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!
well then maybe it's time that companies started paying better salaries (this is not about minimum wage)

not happening, Mohammed

>Despite a growing defense budget, China’s arsenals still overflow with outdated equipment. The PLA possesses 7,580 main battle tanks—more than the U.S. Army. But only 450 of those tanks—the Type 98As and Type 99s—are anywhere near modern, with 125-millimeter guns, composite armor, modern suspension and advanced fire control systems.

>The other 7,130 Chinese tanks—some of which are pictured here—are the same descendants of Soviet T-55s that comprised Beijing’s armored force in the late 1980s… and were obsolete even then.

>China also has a lot of fighter planes. Between the People’s Liberation Army Air Force and the air arm of the People’s Liberation Army Navy, China boasts no fewer than 1,321 fighter aircraft, an aerial armada only slightly smaller than America’s.

>But China’s air forces likewise maintain mostly obsolete jets. Of 1,321 fighters, only 502 are modern—296 variants of the Russian Su-27 and 206 J-10s of an indigenous design. The remaining 819 fighters—mostly J-7s, J-8s and Q-5s—are 1960s designs built in the 1970s. They wouldn’t last long in a shooting war.

>army

This conflict will be a hot mess, most likely you will go the bong way of losing the hedgemony with jews backstabbing you in the process

china is introverted, has always been, will never care about anything other than china nd immediate neighbors

>The navy is in the best shape, but that’s not saying much. The PLAN’s destroyers and frigates are fairly new, but its first aircraft carrierLiaoningis a rebuilt Soviet ship from the 1980s. After a nine-year refit,Liaoningstarted sea trials in 2011.

>Liaoningis half the size of an AmericanNimitz-class supercarrier and carries half as many planes. AsLiaoninglacks a catapult, China’s J-15 naval fighters must use a ski ramp to take off—and that limits their payload and range.Liaoninglacks the radar and refueling planes that give American flattops their long-range striking power.

>Submarines are another problem area for the PLAN. Just over half of China’s 54 submarines are modern—that is, built within the last 20 years. Beijing’s modern undersea fleet includes theShang,Han,YuanandSongclasses. All four classes are Chinese-built. All are markedly inferior to Western designs.

>The rest of China’s submarines, especially its 1980s-vintageMings, are totally obsolete.

>The PLAN halted production of the nuclear-poweredShangclass after only building just three boats—an ominous sign. Moreover, Beijing has placed an order with Russia for up to fourKalina-class subs, signalling a lack of faith in local designs.

China’s system is going to fail way before that. It will affect the economies of many countries but the US has multiple feedback loops if that happens. You stupid millennial.

>One of the most visible signs of China’s military rise is all the new, locally-designed and -produced hardware. Beijing is building new ships, aircraft, drones and tanks that, on the outside, appear to be matches for Western weapons. But we know very little about China’s homemade weaponry. Specifically, we don’t know if any of itreallyworks.

>Many of China’s “new” weapons are actually foreign designs that Beijing’s state companies have licensed, stolen or painstakingly reverse-engineered. The Changhe Z-8 helicopter was originally the French Super Frelon. The Harbin Z-9 scout helicopter started life as the Eurocopter Dauphin. The Type 99 tank is an updated Soviet T-72.

>TheJ-20 stealth fighter prototype, for example, has flown scores of test flights since first appearing in late 2010. The large, angular plane appears to boast long range and a large payload, but its stealthiness is hard to gauge. Its avionics, aerodynamic controls, weapons and sensors—and especially its engines—are equally questionable.

>The J-20’s designers appear to be waiting on new, Chinese-developed engines to replace the prototype’s Russian-made AL-31Ns. China has been working on those engines, without visible success, since the early 1990s.

>It’s important to remember that America’s latest F-35 Joint Strike Fighter first flew in 2006 and won’t be ready for combat until 2016. The United Stateshasexperience developing stealth fighters; China does not. If we allow China 10 years from first flight to combat readiness, the J-20 won’t be a front-line fighter until 2021.

>The specifications of the PLAN’sType 052C/Dair-defense destroyers make them seem very similar to Western warships, such as the U.K.’sDarings or the AmericanArleigh Burkes.But we don’t know how difficult the ships were to build, how well their air-defense system works with the associated phased-array radar or how accurate and reliable the ships’ missiles are.

>When it comes to developing arms, China is starting out far behind Russia and the West and is struggling to catch up. And we must not forget that the very government developing all this hardware is also the only source of information about the new gear. For now, it’s wise to be skeptical of Chinese weaponry.

>China’s aggressive behavior, in the East and South China Seas has prompted many of its neighbors to band together or seek the support of larger, more powerful allies. Japan is the hub for many of these of these cooperative agreements.

>Vietnam, a historical enemy of China, has begun building a military specifically tailored to counter the PLA. It has procured Russian Su-27 and Su-30 fighters and fourGepardfrigates. Vietnam has even bought its first submarines—sixImproved Kilodiesel-electrics from Russia that are more advanced than the Chinese navy’s ownKilos.

>The Philippines, locked in a standoff with China over the Ayungin Shoal, has begun rebuilding its navy and air force, purchasing retired U.S. Coast Guard cutters for its navy and a dozen South Korean TA-50 light fighters for the air force. Manila hasagreed to host American facilities—and American troops—on its military bases.

>The big question is, when does China catch up to America militarily?

>Never.

>“China will grow old before it gets rich” is, by now, a cliche among China-watchers. But it’s true. The same demographic wave that has gifted China with an abundance of labor will soon also transform the country into the world’s biggest retirement home.

>Beijing’s “one-child” policy has sharpened the trend. Today China has 16 retirees per 100 workers. Projections see that increasing to 64 retirees per 100 workers by 2050, resulting a much grayer population than in America.

>This has indirect—but serious—implications for China’s defense. Most Chinese do not have retirement benefits and in their old age must rely on personal savings or family… a difficult proposition when there is only one child to take care of two parents.

>If Beijing wants to preserve household savings and productivity, it will have to build some kind of social welfare system. And that means making some difficult choices.

>China’s borders are secure. The U.S., Japan and India cannot bring down the Chinese government. But tens of millions of desperate Chinese familiescoulddo so—and just might, if Beijing can’t find some way to care for them as they age.

>China has nuclear weapons. It’s ruled by a deeply nationalistic, authoritarian regime with a history of brutality towards its own citizens. It has territorial claims that clash with those of other countries—and a defense budget rising by eight percent annually. It’s wise to keep a watchful eye on China.

>Yet China is a hobbled giant with many deep, systemic problems. Some of these problems—particularly the technological ones—are solvable. The demographic issue is not. And it’s the biggest reason the paper dragon does not pose a major threat to the rest of the world over the long term.

Japan and SK are better than China and they're not even trying.

I will welcome my Asian overlords with open arms if I'll get a trad Asian waifu in return.

Good. Let them have the headaches. Let them try to be the world peacemakers. Let them deal with Israel/Arabs.
We'll focus on money, technology and industry, instead.

Living proof that having niggers, sandmonkeys, spics, and/or Islam to any degree in your country severely damages any progress you are capable of making (china has islam too in the irrelevant desert west but they repress the shit out of it to the degree where the muslims don't matter)

you can getting run over by a truck a "growing pain"?

Yes.
They own literally 100% of worlds industry (intellectual property bullshit doesn't count, post-industry is a meme you're gonna pay for)
And you cant compete with their literal slaves.

The us paid them to do so. Sad

China will be in open revolt and institute a regime change in that 10-15 years. China will fracture into 2 or more pieces. The nerve stapling will never keep up with the building internal rage.
