i thought about it for a bit now, and i wonder if it is sustainable for china to work their people to death, sell products under price and buy up ports all over the world to improve their trading infrastructure. the short answer is no - the long one is no, because there is a certain element they have to eliminate before being able to catch up: WESTERN EFFICIENCY
our governments have been very efficient in the post WW2 time, until lately. while trump was providing immense economical growth and pragmatic leadership in other countries like germany, merkel was doing the same (in the beginning). for a while now, the political systems of the western civilizations are clogging processes up with unnecessary bureaucracy while allowing the selling of flagship industry companies to china.
then we have the 2020 election, that is very disputed whether it was fraudulent or chinese intervention or if it was completely legit. i think we will see something similar all over europe in the upcoming elections. the CDU in germany already chose their chancellor candidate and he is a literal clown. even inside of the party there were loud voices against him and people saying the results of the vote for chancellor candidate was rigged. i dont know enough about the political systems of other european countries so i cant really talk for them (maybe someone else can).
i think the next election in germany will also be heavily rigged, to get that clown into office. then he will do some majorly stupid stuff, because his advisors (or handlers?) tell him to, which will fuck germany (and with that europe) big time.
at some point we wont be able to fulfil turkeys demands anymore so they will open the borders and let millions of illegals flood europe. they will inflate the social systems and by that destroying them. with social systems collapsing (we can already see that for retiring funds in europe) people would either demand higher wages for private insurances, way lower taxes which robs the politicians of "their" money or the affected countries will just collapse completely.
so my theory is that the chinese is backed and financed by *someone *that enabled china to rise while selling out politicians of western civilizations to purposfully mismanage everything for china to catch up faster. they are trying to accelerate for some reason. this reminds me very much of the russian revolution and how the players in that tried to extend their agenda beyond russian borders.
