China is a declining Power

[Zlantann]

Although the kind of power was not mentioned because we have political, economical and military power. Politically China is really declining. There is high rise of abuse of fundamental human rights and oppression of minorities. Chinese democracy operates in an autocratic system. Elections in China are formalities and one party system still dominates its political space. Economically China is not doing badly, its economic growth was marred by Covid-19 and some sanctions imposed on them by U.S during the Trump administration. But China has managed to attract more trade partners in Middle-East, Africa and the Caribbean. The frosty relationship between Washington and Riyadh has made China a major player in the Middle- East economy. Low interest loans and other enticing infrastructural opportunities have also made China a highly sort economic partner in Africa and the Oceania. Militarily China is not lagging behind. Although some of their warheads are inferior replica of the American specification but they are cheap and effective. The affordability of Chinese weapons has made many countries to sign military bilateral agreements with China.

The high increase of abuse of fundamental human rights and oppression of minorities does not happen in China alone. I don't know if you noticed that after the covid-19 which led to a total lockdown happened a lot of people are frustrated and there's a lot of increase in crime schemes globally. Although, China was known for being of a country where forced labor, coercive population control methods, and physical and sexual abuse always happened.

This is the major problem they have in China and also in Africa most of the political systems are seen as a business venture.

From my perspective and understanding is that there's always a way of fixing things if we look profound rather than going the hard way. Mexico is close to the US than China I guess that is why Trump focuses on Mexico more than China.
What you said about Trump locking up the Mexican remind me of the issue raised on this forum about tagging all the bounty hunter. Yes, some bounty participants on this forum are like the virus but not all of them.
The same thing goes for the Mexican that Trump wants to lock up but one thing that is sure is that every race or country has some bad and good eggs.

It's definitely going to slow down within a decade or so. The days of cheap labor is over and inevitably some businesses would move out to where it is cheaper. Of course there's automation and switching to higher-value good to make up for that but other developed countries can do that. And yes, that rapidly aging population is gonna affect them same way it did Japan.

There is barely any nation in the world even in there rural settlement that your likely not going to see a Chinese product so deeply in need and in use. Though, there might be an economic decline decline which is expected due to the pandemic, China is very much far from the ashes as one my think.

While conditions might improve this month as Covid infections rates ease and officials try to limit the damage to the economy, large parts of Beijing have just been placed under tighter restrictions and some economists are now forecasting that Chinese GDP will decline in the second quarter.

Somehow, we gave too much attention to the decline in this and lost focus on the element of an improvement if taken away in the news. It very much addressed tighter restrictions as some cause to the decline and a little free hand could push the economy to where it needs be.

For a source and one of the most if not the most place where the effect of the Covid-19 was massively felt, China is doing just fine than many nations could be proud off. It's sure to rise better and stronger with its population duly reduced as it was an issue at a time.

I thinks it's gonna slow down more in the coming years. Especially now that standard of living has increased, they could get stuck in what some call "middle-income trap".
