China is huge compared to the rest of the world

Why haven’t they become the leading global power yet?

haven't been able to stop killing and screwing each other over long enough

ching chang chong bing bong ding dong ling long ping pong.
that’s why.

they basically are. If china stopped making things everybody would be fucked

If China stopped making things they would be more fucked

China is legendary for fucking themselves over right when they're on the verge of stability and success. Read up on the history of China, it's basically a series of self-cuckings over thousands of years.

Because they won’t.
One of the main things about GDP, is that it’s an aggregate measurement. This means that more land, more people will increase GDP.
China had a lot of room to expand, but it’s reaching that ceiling, like Europe has.
It’s birth rate is failing, and it hasn’t even become a global power.
>geography
China is basically an island, with very limited room. It has impassable rainforstes and mountains in the South, gobi desert in the west, ocean to the east and steppes and extremely cold north.
2/3 of China is unusable
This leaves the very populated and dense inner 1/3 of China.
Not only these things, but China has also very limited expanse options to overcome this issue, in the 50s it took Tibet, the 2nd biggest province of China, has only 3 million people. Becuase it’s unlivable
Where else can it expand?
It’s surronded by historical enemies
To the west is Muslims
To the east is japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines
To the south is Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, India and more Muslims.
To the north is Mongolia and Russia
China has no options to expand.
China has filled out its limited area and its starting to reach the limits of its growth

lol mate, look at Britain.

We're a TINY fucking island. Only a small amount is habitable, surrounded by enemies, etc etc. Where could we expand?

Everywhere.

And we didn't even have a tiny amount of the literal manpower and labour that China does.

China is expanding into Africa and will continue to do so. The only reason they haven't invaded their neighbors is because they don't want to upset the west.

Also because their neighbors would band together and probably fuck them up. Even if America stayed out of it, what if Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and India all decided to band together because China was messing with them? And at least some of those countries have REAL armies, with actual soldiers that have seen actual combat.

Geography, culture, and demographics.

This is more important than people realize. Other than skirmishes with India decades ago, China hasn't had to fight any outside army in full-scale war since WW2.

That means that even the the most senior generals and special forces troops have never seen conflict. Their "big" army is literally completely inexperienced.

Modern-day China is the definition of a paper tiger.

On the other hand, the US military has been fighting non-stop around the world for the last 80 years and has generations of battle-hardened experienced troops.

Because they are only able to copy the west. Even their flag is CCCP-tier.

>Why haven’t they become the leading global power yet?
because they’re no jews, they prefer inner perfection over enslaving the whole humanity

China is more worried about our navy than our soldiers. The 7th fleet has been keeping them in check more than anything else

1. Chabudou, it's a cultural attitude 'close enough' (for government work), which is why minor quality faults running the entire way through a system can result in people eating escalators, buildings stuffed full of rubbish and all that shit.
2. Chinese people are actually lots of different people with their cultural identities erased and forced to play nicely together, the end result is people with low social trust and do t give a shit about each other. Over population adds to this as well, the behavioural sink is real.

I was using the term "army" loosely to mean the entire military, sorry. But you are 100% correct, the US Navy more or less has full control over the pacific. I'm not even sure the Chinese navy is blue water yet.

Imagine commanding a massive military that has almost no experience between them from the bottom all the way to the top? Historically, that translates into a complete clusterfuck when the shit goes down.

yeah, where else would I get my poorly made plastic pieces of shit that I didn't need in the first place?

Are you guys ready? The hype is real.

nowhere, it will be devastating.

China has a very long history of getting spectacularly wealthy every time they can peddle shitloads of trinkets, textiles, etc. to a decadent west. They did this during Roman imperial times and went broke as soon as rome collapsed. Their prior history suggests that they will appear rich and powerful as long as their biggest customers can afford to waste money.

That good boy point system they're putting in says it all. The government is aware of low social trust being one of the largest economic sinks, and is rolling out social credit to combat it.

because it's a huge shithole, just like India

China has a lower per capita GDP than Ukraine, Albania and half of African states

And starting self contained. They know expanding out of their sphere means mixing with blacks and arabs

Staying*

This

The language and hence the culture is impenetrable. The learning curve is too high for non-native speakers. This means that while may build a large economy and even be able to do some regional military projection around its neighbors, it will never ever be able to project culturally on the global scale as the great colonial powers before it. The middle kingdom, 中国, will never be central to anything other than its own affairs. Their culture that they are so proud of contains a trojan (language) that will forever limit its potential for growth and projection and for that reason, there will never, ever, be a Chinese Century.

yeah then in the 1800's China was pulling the same trade shit they are today.
it got them slapped down in several wars and caused them to suffer rebellions.

they call it the Century of humiliation and only in the last 30 odd years have they finally rebuilt enough to be a global power.

given the shit they are pulling it might be time once again to unite the west and put them back in their place

this time for a millennium of humiliation.

Once upon a time they were, circa 1800s before the Opium Wars. But just like about every single country in the world, they got their asses handed to them by the British Empire. The Chinese were rich but mistakenly did not invest in their military. The Chinese had a lot to offer but the British Empire did not. To offset the trade deficit, the British started flooding Chinese markets with opium. The Chinese got addicted. Eventually the Chinese tried to curtail trade with Britain altogether. The British get mad and start invading. Opium Wars. China gets rekted. China's GDP is cut in half. Other countries join in on the gang bang (8 nation alliance). China devolves into a 3rd world country. China gets raped again in WW2. China goes through a revolution as its citizens are tired of being raped and pillaged. Many Chinese see communism as the answer. PRC takes over. Nationalists flee to Taiwan. Within 10-20 years, the PRC restores China to power. Now, China's economy rivals that of the US. With their current trajectory they will be surpass the US by 2050.

What people dont realize about Chinese history is that they've managed to survive more or less as one entity for thousands of years. That's impressive considering how many other empires have crashed and burn. The Chinese almost always finds a way to rebound. They arent going anywhere. And now with nuclear weapons as a deterrent to any invasion, the Chinese are going to stay for a long, long time. Lest a full blown out nuclear war, but that will lead to the destruction of mankind.

Look at Chinese history and you understand why investors constantly buy into and pull out of China. 1.3 billion people leads to highly unstable area of the world which has a period of extreme growth followed by decades of fall and collapse. It is the international equivalent to the Bitcoin boom and crash.

Invasions are a thing of the past. Only shithole 3rd world countries without a developed nuclear program are still being invaded. That's why Iran and NK are desperately trying to develop nuclear bombs. Once they have nukes, America and their western allies are gonna GTFO lest risk a nuclear warhead going off. If anyone tries to invade China (or Russia or the US), they have hundreds of nukes to use. Russia has so many god damn nukes that they can nuke every major city in the world.

>China has survived for one entity
Litterally a lie made up by the post Mao Chinese government because they realized that when Mao died then all the slight differences between the Chinese people will tear the country apart, so they fooled them into thinking that everyone was always Chinese for the 1000+ history instead of the actual history of China which makes the sengoku-era Japan look stable.

Alway er reaf frag.

Your homecountry is just as big Pajeet. Why havent you?

Look at the world map. China is pretty fucking big. Look at the British ""Empire"" today. Yes China has always been fragmented, but that's expected considering hundreds of years ago everybody lived like tribal caveman.

Okay, so you're saying they've failed to achieve global dominance because of economic instability, but in that case I'd like to ask: what is it that causes their economic instability?

>Physical geography means that they were obviously all the same!
I bet you're retarded enough to think that every single Native American was the same

>this time for a millennium of humiliation.

Wont happen, because nuclear warfare is the deterrent. A single well placed nuke at any of the major cities of any country can do a job. China knows that. The US knows that. Any dumbass knows that.

Literally a lie cultivated by butthurt poos like you
>inb4 screenshorts of butthurt niggers talking from their curry smeared ass

Speaking from the nation of mutts. Be humble. If you think China is divided and fragmented, have you taken a look at our own country? There's not a single group in America that actually gets along. Everybody hates everybody.

>t.fellow white Indo-Eurpean aryans

theres a lot of reasons but the biggest one is water, fresh water per capita is very low in china

one of the reasons their pollution is so bad is water is the primary way our ecosystems cycle and clean themselves, their rivers are dying holding up the weight of a billion people

they also lack oil and LNG reserves which is another huge weakness

What about the British? Some tiny little country with almost no resources still managed to kick the world's ass.

Same goes with Japan

there are more ants than humans why haven't they taken over yet

britain and japan were sea powers, china has never had a strong war navy, and both japan and britain are much better on water resources and overall environmental stability

Wut? Are you fucking retarded?

>they can defend themselves thats it

Thats all they need to do and with nuclear weapons only a dumbass would try. The nuclear bomb has brought world peace. As weird as that sounds, its true. One single nuke in NYC or Beijing/Shanghai will completely devastate the country since Wall Street basically runs this country. Just fire 100 at NYC and only one has to go through.

Remember that time when Zheng He began a great era of Chinese exploration, discovery, and conquest? Oh no wait you don't because after his death the Chinese burned all his ships and forgot the rest of the world existed again. Imagine if Cortes had defeated the Aztecs and then just sailed back to Spain and then the King of Spain tore up all of his maps and demanded everyone forget all about Mexico, Aztecs, and Cortes because he was jealous, like imagine how fucked European history would be if that was how things had gone and imagine how fucked the Chinese are because that's the kind of shit they've been doing for 4000 years.

0/10 reading comprehension

little chinky penises lmao

The British conquered almost every single corner of the world, but look at them now. They overreached and got greedy. Plenty of other civilizations tried to do the same... Rome/Mongolian/etc. Maybe its a good thing China has never tried to conqeuor the world.

Yeah, China will grow larger alright.

All thing must pass.
Eternal stagmention is a destiny worst than the downfal

It is hard to be a world power when 90% of your population aren't even a generation removed from effectively being medieval peasants. Their economy is also still entirely reliant on outsourced manufacturing from developed nations.

Too much people which leads to an inability to actively control and maintain effectively to any degree that is sustainable. China would be objectively better off separated in multiple different stable countries, but that is impossible now due to Bejing building up the Chinese coast rather than developing inward.

Conventional warfare sure.
Economic warfare however is a possibility.

Problem is Getting Everyone to Embargo China.

stop the flow of money and watch them wither away into a backwater once again.

1) communism
2) they were late to industrialize compared to Europe
3) being a low-trust society is anemic to growth
4) powerful neighbours (Japan, Russia, India)
5) deliberate containment by the most powerful nation on Earth

You mean the USA which is a result of a system being developed around those divisions? America is based entirely on Roman Empire/Republic, in which the citizens while not always being Roman all were in some degree apart of "Rome". Don't be retarded and compare the relatively young nation of the US, which is based on it's division, to the thousands of years of splitting and reforming of China.

Because they’re communist , which means all the people in power are retards, people consider jack ma like bill gates . He came to America saw yahoo search stole the idea went to China and got gov gibs most likely due to communist party connections

ITT : mutts seething because they are becoming third world.
Chkna is already leading in a 100 of domains, someone please post that Chinese century infography.

Not at all. There are huge political deterrents to the use of nuclear weapons and they aren't entirely as destructive as people meme them to be. Note that the total destruction of cities is nothing new in history, it has happened since the dawn of civilization thousands of years ago.

Because Jews can't infiltrate their society as "Fellow Asian People"

Dictatorships fuck themselves in the long run because eventually you end up with incompetent rulers and civil war.

So right now Chins is on course to return to being the greatest power in the world, they are also on course to losing it all the exact same way they already have multiple times. They need a more stable form of government.

Of course democracy is a relatively new experiment. Especially in the age of the interent. Maybe democracies are more stable and we will just die slower. We dont know yet

China has been the most dominate in any domain multiple times in it's history, then it collapses and becomes third world, before rising again only to fall. Meanwhile, the rest of the world has been on a steady rise or a steady fall.
China is the cryptocurrency of history

Democracies have been around for thousands of years since the ancient Greeks and beyond. They're not new at all and yes like all other forms of government they do eventually collapse and reform into something new. Such is the generational arc of society.

>they can defend themselves
Like most historical Chinese armies the People's Army is equipped and trained to police and murder unarmed civilians, saying they "defend" anything is a little silly to say since there is no foreign army in the world that would treat the Chinese people with the same level of cruelty and indifference as their own army does.

Anyways the Chinese army is somewhat unique among the great powers in that it has no real combat experience, even brushfire counterinsurgency stuff. Like nobody in the PLA has fired their gun in anger or been fired upon, none of them were trained by anyone with any combat experience, you'd probably have to go back to the 70s to find a Chinese soldier who has participated in combat. You know how everyone on here makes fun of Europeans fore being pacifists who can't meet their NATO obligations? Every single fucking one of those nations has more combat veterans than China, even countries like Sweden or Ireland. Can China defend itself? I don't know, and neither do the Chinese.

The thing is this is pretty par for the course for China, historically the Chinese rely on their impression of invulnerability to protect them. They build the biggest armies, equip them with all the latest stuff, and nobody ever fucks with them... until someone does and then they just fucking shatter.

They're not new at all and yes like all other forms of government they do eventually collapse and reform into something new. Such is the generational arc of society. I don't however think we will die slower. Things are happening at an accelerated pace in history. We've already gone through the largest mass migration ever and it's not over yet. Social decay has hit levels so high our cities are literally comparable to Sodom and Gomorrah. Our economies have become debt based and kids are now projected to be much poorer than their parents. Shit is fucked and going down fast and our current system hasn't even been around all that long.

They already became that around the late 90's and early 00's when outsourcing became extremely popular, it's just that no one noticed until the 2008 when all that growth in China got noticed. Ever since then, China has been getting questions from it's former investors about how fast they are growing and how it is unable to always grow, and China has answered those questions by doing to their citizens what the Chinese emperor's of old did, and we all know what happened to them.

If china stopped maing things the overall quality of manufactured good would improve by several magnitudes

Not really. They've always been quite relevant but face the same problems of internal collapse and external invasions that everyone else faces. They may seem that way now because they were late to industrialize, and thus did it very rapidly, but they weren't always like that.

There’s nothing new about democracy and every form of government can degenerate

What did the British leave behind? English is the world's trade language, so widely used that the Chinese are simply learning it rather than trying to get anyone to learn their tongue, their morality and economic systems are accepted as the global standard, the Empire's progeny are all wealthy and prosperous nations. I'd say all things considered the British did pretty fucking good for a shitty little rain soaked island on the north sea.

Your thinking of Greek democracies, which in reality was just oligarchies of the former kings. Modern democracies are closer to Roman republics and the enlightenment-era than a prue Greek democracy

Canadian Chink detected.

If China stopped making cheap shit then manufacturing would move elsewhere.

Chinese aristocracies are not militarily focused like Western ones are as they don't glorify warfare and war heroes like the West does. They're more Jew-like and have a mind set that only a schmup would fight a war for somebody else. Thus is a large reason why their militaries have sucked total ass through all of history and why they've been continually invaded and conquered by much smaller and less wealthy nations. That said they are basically God-tier in peace time politics. That's their game and they play it better than anyone. They'll edge out small victories over and over and push soft power victories like no other. Note how they keep getting away with shit that nobody wants them to do even with the most powerful nation on the planet right on their door step telling them to cut it out. The longer they can stay out of any military conflicts the better off they are, and btw their leadership knows this better than anyone. They'll only resort to hard military conflicts if they have to, otherwise they stick to slow soft power take overs, which they're exceptionally good at due to their 4 thousand years of nonstop internal political bickering. They really basically are hyper Jews but higher IQ and there's a billion of them and they rather like and admire whites instead of hating us.

It's not just cheap shit, it's also the fact that basically their citizens are serfs working for free like Jow Forums janitors

>Cantonia
>Not Guangzhou nor Canton
The fuck

I said fighting, not winning retard.

Soldiers who know how to kill and react under pressure are valuable regardless of the outcome of the war. Keep in mind most modern wars we enter are not MEANT to be won, they're meant to go on forever.

China has a military of millions with maybe a few year's experience between them all.

China fought in Korea and Vietnam just like America did. Those were both of your last major wars and no bombing low IQ sand people doesn't count as a major war.

All China does is mass produce cheap garbage

>Every single fucking one of those nations has more combat veterans than China, even countries like Sweden or Ireland.
The IRA is no joke lad

They pushed against the UN 'forces' in Korea, and then the Chinese got their own asses handed to them by the Vietnamese for litterally 20 years after we left. It is why Vietnam is ironically one of America's biggest allies

Too primitive, too violent, too amoral, and too arrogant to objectively rate themselves on these matters.

If you are Chinese you probably love proverbs and subtlety, now I'm a retarded American but I'll try my hand at a response to saying your country is great at peace but sucks at war.

The bee produces more honey than the apiarist, but the apiarist takes more home. You're the fucking bee.

Should have just said beekeeper

Imagine being retarded enough to think nukes are a deterrent for economic, cultural, and political humiliation.

Nukes are a deterrent for being invaded, you moron. America isn't going to nuke Norway because they embargo our products and call us amerisharts. The same is true of China.

Kikes are no insurance against the fall of nations and empires. All the biggest and most powerful ones collapsed internally. Babylon, Rome, Britain, Egypt. In the future, America. They weren't invaded. So being invasion-proof is no salvation or insurance.

China can barley keep itself together. It's not so authoritarian by accident. It's a bunch of chinks that dislike eachother and different regions get different laws and that engenders even more bitterness.

chicom kikery, also chink culture.
