you can see the same thing about the universe - from the beginning everything is evenly spaced out in all direction of the universe. As time goes on, things become more concentrated becos of black hole pulling things into them. Things become more uneven. Same goes to the wealth of people around the world. More and more people are very very rich but only a small % of them while the rest is getting poorer and poorer. All things in the universe will become uneven. The only thing to balance this is that the super-rich do their part by giving back to the society so to make things more balance.

@@albertcadgame8314 My point is, China does not owe USA anything. We have already paid you guys, but it's your own elites who are not dishing out his wealth back to the society. That is not our fault. Our people have been taken advantages out of already, so pls don't call us the Chinese people evil. We slave ourselves for the Americans so American kids could have a decent life. Now we are called the evil axis. That is not very fair to us.

This how capitalism works in the US.

Well, Ronald Reagan believed in "trickle-down economics" and promoted the enrichment of the wealthy 1% in the mistaken belief that the wealth will flow down to the rest and unfortunately, many bought into this sham. Trickle down economics never happened and will never happen. The greedy gets only greedier and nothing is ever enough - which is the real truth of the matter. "Reaganomics" was scam economics and only the wealthy believes in it.

Its the other way around. We made some Chinese rich while 800m live on $140 a month and the old cannot afford to retire. How much do you think Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are worth as a result of relations with the free world? I can tell you. Billions. And you can be jailed in both countries for speculating about their fortunes.

That is exactly what the US empire is scared off or fearful about --- to be colonized by China, but US fails to read China's mindset correctly, even if they are world No.1, they will never act the same way US acts now!

China was on its way to destruction like US and EU until the government intervention. Many Chinese entities over leveraging....

China also has its own traditions to guide them. Most Chinese dynasties are characterized by an inward focus. Their foreign policy was about placating foreigners and keeping the regional peace rather than going on geopolitical adventures.

One would hope.

@@MaryLou5239 1. There are not a large number of bronzes unearthed in Egypt. The latest archeology of the pyramids proves that they were built by construction workers, not slaves. Slaves could eat high-quality beef and be buried near the pyramids. 2. There is no history of bronzes in Europe. There are only a small amount of bronzes picked up from the water or bought from antique markets. In this way, it is impossible to do carbon 14 testing (compare Sanxingdui in China to see what bronzes can be carbon 14 tested), or natural copper products. Not smelting. 3. There is no astronomical calendar in Europe, so ancient Europeans did not know the exact time and could only roughly estimate a period of 6,000 years (there are many observatory sites in China, and there are no such sites in Europe. It takes hundreds or thousands of years of continuous observation and calculation , only through accumulation can we have a calendar. The history of civilization alone can be recorded to nearly 5,000 years, of which 3,000 years are not stories, but almost completely real history, verified by multiple evidences) 4. Europe does not have unified weights and measures, but China has unified weights and measures. It has been more than 2,000 years, and many measuring instruments have been unearthed in China. There is no unified weights and measures in Europe, so where can advanced arithmetic come from? 5. There is no writing in Europe that can record history. Language expressions are different in different places and in each period. The only writing in the world that has recorded history is Chinese characters, which are Chinese characters in China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam. Moreover, speaking and writing are separate modes, and the writing mode has not changed for thousands of years. Only in this way can history be recorded. Can anyone overturn the above points? If it cannot be overturned, then ancient Babylon (has any ordinary person obtained a cuneiform dictionary and translated the clay tablet text?), ancient Egypt, and ancient Greece are all stories. Can the stories be discussed as real things? Ancient Rome (in northern Arabia), which China called fulinguo (purum), was not called Rome (rum). It had a certain degree of civilization, but people in the Song Dynasty also thought that their technology was ordinary and crude (Sharaf al-Zamān Marvazī: "Tahā'l al -hayawan"), Europe is likely to rewrite this as the Roman Empire. If you look at the technology of China's Song Dynasty and the Sanxingdui ruins, you will know why. Note that the first steam engine-driven car also appeared in China, but it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty, the creator of civilization, had the technology stolen by the barbarian Manchus and European missionaries, and forged a false history. 6. If the Babylonian civilization was as great as described in the textbook, why was the writing still written on clay tablets? Why not use noble sheepskin? 7. There is no such grammatical dictionary for cuneiform writing. With the help of grammatical dictionaries, ordinary people can translate these clay tablets into modern writing. Without such a dictionary, they can make false claims at will.

@@kaehlqin877 other than the "Mongolian tribe" bit they're not wrong tbh. The Chinese dynasties that were particularly aggressive, were Manchu (Qing) and Mongol (Yuan). Otherwise China has generally looked inward, and sought cooperation abroad. Look at the behavior of, say, the Chinese treasure fleets, vs. how Europeans behaved when they arrived in the Indian Ocean (or how they constantly behaved amongst themselves).

That is an interesting point and a big difference. I heard someone stated, "In USA, the nation is a tool to make the market run well; In China, the market is a tool to make the nation run well.". That is quite true, that Chinese goverment is not interested in capitalism, the CCP prioritizes the target "common prosperity" as the first one.

@@Luisarrietaso123 China has 56 ethnic groups and the reason why socialism works is because Chinese are united. It's not because of being homogeneous, it's because Chinese society doesnt emphasize individualism, instead it emphasizes the collective, this is because of the influence of Confucianism. China doesn't do identity politics like the West, because this will only divide the people... China is all about uniting people. The multi polar world is also a chinese idea. As you can see, it follows the same concept. Prosperity for all, and equality for all, no matter if you are a small or big nation... We all deserve the same, it's about the collective. This is rooted from Confucianism and Socialism. If you divide the people and tell everybody that they are special and put emphasize on, its all about what you as an individual want in life and don't care about what others think. It's all about the individual, everybody is special in the West... Yes, the West has this mentality, that's why socialism will never work....

Not an empire, but relationships. Empire is parasitic but relationships are about give and take.

About 600 years ago, Zheng He, the Chinese navigator of the Ming Dynasty, led a huge fleet on seven expeditions, passing through Malaysia, Singapore, the Strait of Malacca, and reaching India, the Red Sea, and the east coast of Africa. But what he brought with him was silk, pepper, and porcelain. , trading with countries along the way. About 100 years later, the Spanish navigator Columbus led a fleet to the American continent, but what he brought with him was war and killing. The nightmare of the Indians began.

China has not fired a shot on foreign soil since 1979. They aren't a threat to world peace, and they have no intention of bogging their economy down in militarism like the US. They see that as folly and will use their soft power to secure economic alliances. They offer a much better deal to developing countries than their Western counterparts, by not tying aid with vulture capitalism like the US does. This kind of foreign policy is much more peaceful and sustainable. I will welcome this new age in global politics, once the US wanes into irrelevancy.

I agree but when you really think about it, isn't it somewhat self contradictory or paradoxical to support "multipolar" world, but also no "bosses" like it's an equal world where no country throws its weight around or has greater say than others? Just take the word "multi-polar". It means multiple "poles". What are poles? They are the great powers, poles of power and strength and greater size and wealth and technology. Ie China, USA, and possibly EU but mainly those 3 since EU is not a country nor united. So in reality multipolar world has 3 bosses and 3 poles or spheres of influence. China claims it does not support creating or joining blocs or cliques etc, but even if China doesnt support or join, those weaker will naturally flock to China for protection or because they support China's vision of the world, and thus that can be considered a bloc or clique in itself even if we consider it a good one lol. It is similar to stuff like "NAM" or non aligned movement which historically was considered to be led by india. even in the UN itself where they have equality charters for humans, in reality we still have blocs or cliques known as "countries", and 5 countries have more rights than others like the 5 permanent security council members because while we can dream and support the idea that everyone is equal and every country is equal or should be equal, in reality every individual or country is different and each have their own level of power and strengths, and to ignore or not take advantage of this is detrimental for not just the individual, but the country or world itself. We can see it in the gender equality debates. Would a woman be suited to being brick layer? Should men and women compete together in the same sports? The women would just get destroyed 99.999% of the time. And so what is the alternative? Ban all competition and sports so it is fair? That would be a loss for the world imo if we were to ban sports or competition itself. War itself ja a competition at the end of the day.. and currently the highest level of war falls under "great power competition" which stays cold because of nukes and MAD. And because of that cliques and blocs form naturally around the "poles" so they can also hopefully be protected under the shadow of the poles which stand tall and cannot be attacked or destroyed easily. And ultimately, while china may claim that it's not a participant in any Great power competition, in reality it is. And imo they know the are and they are playing to win. They just have a different type of strategy, a higher form of warfare/competition which is not reliant on brute force or zero sum ideology or using strategies or tactics which hurt their enemy or opponent. Instead China wants to help their opponent to all win and develop together and live in a win win symbiotic relationship. This may not seem like it is a competition, but it is, because by definition great power competition is about achieving your goals at the end of the day, and the enemy or rival poles trying to achieve theirs. USAs and others goals are to dominate the world by force, to divide and conquer and ultimately get hegemony for their nation state and they can then dominate and continue playing the game forever. China's goal is to win the game and ultimately destroy the game as it's currently played in terms of nation states. That's what makes China different and special, and what makes people who know China support China and want to be part of this great movement or great ambitious goal. it will hopefully end all hot wars at the end of the day and end all exploitative and immoral or abuse relations that currently exist under the nation state system we have, and which China itself sees itself as or operates under. China sees itself as the "peoples party", and ultimately the "peoples country". Ie true democracy, which caters to and protects the majority which are usually the least powerful and most vulnerable. Most countries cannot even do this for their own people/country which is just one nation state, so fbey obviously won't be able to do it for the whole world and all nation states.. But the way I see it, China has already succeeded on a nation state level in China, and now they have moved into the next stage of the competition/game while everyone else is still stuck on the first stage. Most countries even uc they have passed stage 1 and solved their countries problems have done it using a short term strategy which in the long run means they can never go past stage two let alone finish the game. In the end they ultimately die or get defeated by someone else and this keeps getting repeated until today because we finally reached a point in the game where we got to the last stage.. with some poles which are so strong now that they can destroy everyone in the world multiple times over due to nukes. And so now this time it is everyone playing to win having bet the highest stakes but most have yet to figure out a way to progress and beat this final level of the game. I believe that china has figured out a winning strategy and is currently executing their strategy which took them from stage 1 to the last stage in only 70 years or so. I am confident that in another 70 or 100 years, we will have finally solved this game and no longer need to play or worry about stuff like wars between nation states.

It is a very hard fact to accept....powerful as china was in ancient times, the chinese dynasties the. Often has to pay crushing tributes to the barbarian nomads to the north and west.

Those states were ceded to the U.S. by war - which the Spanish and the Mexicans lost. What belonged to someone but was lost cannot be returned as the ORIGINAL inhabitants of those lands that were owned by the Spanish and Mexicans also used to belong to the native indigenous people - the Paiutes, the Karoks, the Maidus, the Cahuillenos, the Mojaves, the Pomos, Yokuts, the Modocs, the Kiowas, the comanches, the Apaches, the Karankawas, the Caddos and the Wichitas. Should those states be returned to those rightful original owners? Or what of Hawaii - which was actually illegally taken over by the U.S. and in which there has been a growing chorus of voices from Hawaiians demonstrating for their independence? History is not fair or equitable. It is a harsh recorder of man's inhumanity to man and in which, the records are often written or re-written by the victors.

Im afraid they might be pulled by any of the mentioned empires though. Will just see how all this plays out. Wars and rumours of war tensions still beating about separate to the trade aspects
