Whatever economic and birth rate problems they have, everyone else has the same problem - except we have intense factionalism whereas they have an enforceable unity. They also have an ace up their sleeve, which is that the CCP can always shore up its popularity by taking Taiwan; and the longer they wait to play that card, the better position they are in to play it.China is built on sand figuratively and literally, and has a few systemic problems like birth rates and pollution that, not only are the not fixing, but aren’t feeling the full brunt of their effects yet. They will not be a foreign power because they have too many domestic issues and these issues will continue to worsen in the future.
I'm glad I was never born Asian, I hate the bug mentality, but right now they're the strongest horse in the glue factory.
