Yeah that's what I understood too by reading here and there and, well, just looking a little bit at how they operate. Hell I remember that seemingly they had the naval capacity to cross the Pacific real early (like early Middle-Ages for us) but were rather on some "let's organize the country/mainland first".
even if they did, it would have been for trade purposes only ei silk road. the entire asian region didn't fall under the chinese like the romans did in europe, yet the chinese could have, check out what happened when the mongolians got a hold of chinese technology and engineers lol. everyone adopted chinese culture (noddles, soups, tea, ceramic, silk, paper), passively because they've always been traders, not conquerors.

China is still so far behind the US. Don't let Tommy Knocks persuade you otherwise. America jaded him and he's obsessed with Asian p*ssy, so you won't get an objective thought from him, despite his living there. Most of their people are still shytting in buckets.

:francis:

Can't keep manufacturing forever. Workers expect higher wages and jobs are already moving to other countries like Vietnam. As other countries build infrastructure, China will need to transition to a knowledge economy. Too bad free thought is repressed by the Commies and innovation is stifled. Should present a fun challenge.
check this guy out. you havent been out here in how long? China is far behind in what? innovation and technology? military? I ready said it was, you need to define what a superpower is, it doesnt only mean military, one may argue it means have the largest economy or global influence, are you denying china is top player? :what:

you aint been here in what 5 years? you think the chinese dont know innovation is stifled? you dont think they've been pumping money into their top universities having the likes of Bill Gates run seminars for a reason? They know what needs to be done, its just a matter of execution. I dont doubt they can do it because they have shown they are capable of changing, the first step to fixing a problem is realizing there is a problem, they realize there is a problem. as far as culture, a lot of shyt is just utterly backwards, Ill be the first to say that, however, so is a lot of arab culture and dubai is the most futuristic country in the world even past japan. just to put things into perspective.

Im not jaded about the States at all. I didn't say one negative thing about it, other than I wish we'd focus on ourselves and stop the fukking wars already and stop selling our country to corporations.

This was written in 1979 by Maoist critics of Deng's reforms and it is super funny in hindsight.

New Essay: The Five Fundamental of Chinese Grand Strategy:

"What follows is my personal attempt to summarize the essentials of Chinese foreign policy in as few points as possible."

Five points, to be exact.

2/10
Here is a proper link to the piece: Five Fundamentals of Chinese Grand Strategy

3/10
The five points are as follows:

1. The overriding goal of the Communist Party of China is to restore China to a position of glory and influence commensurate with its ancestral heritage.

4/10
2. This can only be accomplished by pioneering a technological transformation of the global economy on the scale of the industrial revolution.

5/10
3. The greatest perceived threat to China’s rise is found in the ideological domain—and in a globalized world that domain is a global one.

6/10
4. Chinese leaders imagine they will reshape the global order primarily through economic, not military, tools.

7/10
5. The main exception to this is Taiwan. With Taiwan economic tools have proven ineffective; the possibility of war is very real.

8/10
These five points are derived from Chinese government statements but are not an official CPC formulation. Just my personal attempt to boil Chinese strategic relations to its core.

9/10
I originally articulated these five fundamentals in a panel event hosted by @civic_future last month. Other panelists included @michaelgove, @DesmondShum, and @CindyXiaodanYu. You can watch that here: https://invidious.poast.org/watch?v=tvAF0PhKYFw

10/10
If you were to attempt to summarize the essentials of Chinese grand strategy in 4-8 points, what would your version be?
