China taking over the world without military actions.

[Tipstar]

There are two takes on China's plans, China is increasing its energy production capability to be self sufficient and increasing its military to take on Taiwan in 2027, many of the media still portrays that China is modernizing its army and gearing up for 2027 invasion. With self sufficiency specially on energy, they could continue the war for as long as they want and won't be affected by any sanctions.
But there's an even larger idea about China getting to a technological advancement that it could dictate the earth and the solar system. They would become so technologically and militarily advanced that no one would even think of competing with them and they gets things done without a war and gets Taiwan.
Getting Taiwan is the end goal for all paths, the only difference is whether its in 2027 or much later.

China is taking over the world stage without any military actions. All good students on  history will bear me witness that, power has always been taken over by force and military might in the past all global powers has been taken over by military actions. But China the second largest economy in the world and the most populated country in the world is taken over power in the world stage subtly as they continue to expand their interest in all continent without firing a single shot.

They are not taking over the world, what you are seeing are business minded Chinese who has business across the countries and not the plans to conquer the world, we have a lot Chinese in my country, and the reason why some brought there construction company to my country is because they no that my country has a lot of roads to construct and overhead flyovers so since they are good in that field they are mostly the people they contract to do the job but if is about gaining power to control the world I disagree and besides other people from different countries are also all over the world and not only Chinese.

[slapper]

US still spending more on military than next 9 countries combined, something like 40% of global military spending. That's not nothing and it still makes projections of power that matter. And China's military budget is fast growing even if it's smaller in absolute terms.

What China figured out (and this is genuinely clever) is you don't need to invade countries if you can make them economically dependent on you in ways they can't easily escape from.

But the West was not doing charity work also for the last 50 years. IMF and World Bank had their own strings attached for decades now, their structural adjustment programs gutted social services. China just provided an alternative that appeared better on the surface. Now we're seeing the costs real because unwaring come due.

Also the "without firing a single shot" thing - tell that to their neighbours in the South China Sea where they're building military bases on artificial islands. The strategy isn't just taking it economic, it's hybrid. Economics backed by increasing military presence and willingness to use force if the economic leverage doesn't work.

How has China been able to do this.

China has been able to successfully lay grib on the rest of the world by  investing in infrastructure and what China terms as strategic investments. Digital networking, investing in infrastructure such as Rail way, power stations, building of hospital and schools, and finally systems. Another thing to consider too is investments in
the world Rare earth minerals and natural resources this is the new world order and China is leading on this areas no wonder more countries are aligning with china. While the West and American is concerned more about using force and military actions to enforce their will on others country just as we are experiencing in the world  today. China is busy expanding more influence on the rest of the world. This is going to count moving forward.

China has burdened developing nations with loans carrying unsustainable interest rates. Venezuela will be the first to default, followed by Iran and then Cuba. What happens when other countries realize they can simply walk away from their debts?

They will find a perfect pretext: after all, China itself failed to honor its obligations to foreign bondholders when its real estate giants collapsed. If China won't pay its creditors, why should anyone else pay China?

[Wind_FURY]

Today is busy expanding more influence on the rest of the world. This is going to count moving forward.

I don't agree with what you stated. They are expanding their influence in our region through force by claiming a part of our sea territory where they are already an arbitrary case resulting in favor of our country, yet they keep harassing our fishermen with their superior warships and what about the Taiwan issue? They also harass this country by threatening to occupy it by force.

They are just looking at the right time to harm these two countries 

Philippines fishermen hurt, boat damaged by China in West Philippine Sea

Will China invade Taiwan?

Yeah they are gunning for Taiwan

The world now has 3 super villains.

USA
Russia
China

They will all be grabbing and annexing land and countries.

Times will be very hard the next 10 years for any smaller weaker country.

If you were given the power to choose only ONE world super villain to exist, making the other two non-existent - Which ONE would you choose and WHY?

Plus for the people who would answer that question, don't be offended whatever the answer may be. We're only discussing hypotheticals.

USA,I will choose USA over and over again the major reason why I will choose USA over any country is because USA has the world power currently and they also have the sense to manage their equipment in time of fight or support,in a company where I work is equipped with USA now their services is very standard compared to Chinese and Russia,when you talk about safety 🛟🦺 and fire services is USA is a credit on that but Chinese and Russia has nothing to be compared to that ,so the first on my list is still USA ,their way of doing things and organizations,is top notch ✅ so choosing USA over any country is very good

 ✅

I have the same answer.

I believe more than 80% would privately answer that themselves, although publicly, they would tell everyone that the U.S. Hegemony should die.

But MANY people in BitcoinTalk would avoid answering that question.

[moneystery]

Not entirely like that, they also use military actions, but just not so aggressive, the proof is that until now my country is in conflict with China over maritime boundaries, they often carry out military actions and claim that it is their territory based on history.
They also bribe officials to form a special zone for their people to live freely, and build their 'small country' there, and continue to expand their influence through Chinese-descendant tycoons who have built their business empires here. And they also provide loans to build infrastructure, but with interest and costs that are actually unreasonable compared to projects in other countries.

So China is actually not much different from the West, it's just that they use an eastern approach which is more subtle and less frontal, by leveraging economic influence, history, and business networks to expand their influence and interests.

[9ja Amaka]

The three basic needs in life is what China has focused on. They try to improve how we can live with ease without stressing so much to have a comfortable life, knowing full well, work is stress. Who doesn't want a suitable life? Of course everyone does provided that they can afford it. In the olden days, when warriors are starved, when they have blunt weapons, it becomes impossible to win battles because they are weak in many ways compared to their enemies. What I'm trying to say here is that, China holds the economic power, meaning if they reduce the supply to other countries, the rate of sufferings will increase to some level.

[Jatiluhung]

China has indeed succeeded in establishing a strong image in the current global economy. Many countries are indebted to China, including my own country and Russia, which owe China significant amounts of money.

Indirectly, China has earned the respect of all the countries that owe it money. Some countries are even at risk of defaulting on their debts.

For example, Sri Lanka is reportedly having difficulty paying its debts and may hand over the Hambantota port to China, which means China will become the port operator under an agreement that is reportedly for 90 years.

And many other countries such as Uganda, Laos, Kenya, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe are also reportedly struggling to pay their debts and potentially losing their strategic assets.


And again, aside from the debt issue, we know that products from China are always able to compete with other products on the global stage. Even in my country, almost all cell phones now are mostly from China. And we even know that some well-known cell phone brands like Apple also manufacture in China because they partner with Foxconn or something like that. What is clear is that China offers many advantages in production, such as their skilled workforce and manufacturing, which is undoubtedly mature. So China can actually be said to be good at building its reputation.

And USA needs to learn ,that means nothing. Imagine a scenario where USA is not spending 1 trillion dollars on military, imagine they are spending only 100 billion, which is still a lot compared to many, but just imagine.

That means, 900 billion dollars left to spend on something else. Now the sensible thing to do would be capping the medical and drug world, not let them use USA as a way to test and take the cost out of them (right now USA pays for all drug developments by being very expensive) and then hospitals as well, that way 900 billion would cover almost all people, if not most people, to get treated for free.

Right now it would take a lot, but if you just cap it, that way you can make it cheaper, and then you can pay at least for 70%+ people to be freely treated. But even if your entire logic is to conquer the world. Instead of spending 900 on military, you spend it on other nations and get them to owe you, that would make other nations better, developed, and USA ally, instead of attacking and taking from them.

China taking over the world without military actions.

That's what's so great about China and the US, China doesn't sacrifice its military forces, in contrast to the US which has to sacrifice its military to dominate the world globally, every superpower country has its own effective strategy to dominate the world.

Like China, their strategy for global influence focuses on soft power as we see today, economic and diplomatic, this strategy has proven to be effective in dominating the world, they know the economy is the deadliest weapon.

For example, China's "Debt Trap" Diplomacy does all this to dominate the world with large loans, projects and so on, it is proven that many countries that have debts with China are currently unable to pay their goals The main thing is negotiating concessions in that way China can control over the main infrastructure assets of countries that have debts with them, that's China's ingenuity in controlling countries, the military is not the main weapon for them to influence other countries, the economy can doeverything you want.

We observed that China is very interested in Taiwan and there are two simple views about China's plan, the one is that China may be move on Taiwan through its military around in 2027 and for this purpose China prepare itself by increasing its energy production and also China strengthened its army military. So in case if War is started then may Sanctions would not easily stops China. the second veiw is slightly different and its a long term plan. China wants to become more advanced in economy, technology and energy so there is not country who would dare to Challenge it. So China would not need a War because Taiwan would come Under Chinas control through pressure and in both cases Taiwan is the main goal but different thing is method which may be through military or may be slow but through powerful rise

China has grown a lot of power in the last couple decades, mainly from being the worlds factory, but they will always have a fatal weakness when it comes to their centralized form of government. While decision makers and leaders within the hierarchy are given some power they are always ultimately afraid of making bad decisions that could see them cracked down on in a cull of certain industries or power bases. This makes them weak and compliant, definitely not the innovators that are needed to truly distinguish a country. People are afraid to make mistakes. China has got where it is largely by copying the technology and ideas from other countries, which is perfectly fine, but considering their population size they have only recently started really having breakthroughs that push them ahead of other countries in certain fields.

I think China is one country that does not play fair in business, they always look for ways to exploit other countries which is why their loans are difficult to repay. In country they are involved in illegal mining and readily connive with corrupt politicians to exploit vulnerable villages through sponsor of armed bandits for the sake of the illegal mining. I don't see China taken over the world because the time people begin to see them for who they are, they begin to avoid doing doing business with them. 

[Richbased]

China is a great country with a lot of technology going on there and their economy is also growing rapidly but i don't see them taking over world power from US soon. They might become world power in the future but just as it took the Americans many things before they got recognized, same way it will take China a lot to achieve that. Mind you, world power cannot be achieved without a fight so China should prepare themselves for war if they want world power.

I mean when you offer a nation to build their roads, hospitals, all the things they need for those hospitals, airports, marine ports, schools and whatever else you can think of, that nation (specially if they are poor) will say yes of course. Not only that, but you would pay for factories and land and hire bunch of those people to work for those too.

In return, they have two asks, either you pay them back for these, or they are going to legally take over. If you do not pay, and you do not let them, they have international law behind them to take over by force, like how if you do not pay the bank, they seize your house, same way.

[NurseHub]

Every countries with force or big economic power uses it's force to invade other countries but you can be saying this about  china because of its production force that is used to hold other countries down, by supplying them with goods, almost all countries including the USA use china products consciously or unconsciously, so now it's obvious that they have invaded the production industry of other countries and teared it down. So in terms of war force china still uses it to get power or larger community.

[Muba20]

The world cannot be controlled by military power in the future. If China wanted to, they could have shown military power and snatched the resources of others, but they are not doing that. They are trying to strengthen their financial base and keep the country at the top of the world economy. Their strategy is completely different. While other superpower countries are wasting money to establish their authority, China is relying on a strategy that is strong. It is said that even if the war is fought with weapons now, in the future, instead of weapons, an economic war will start and no one will be able to defeat China in that war. They will occupy the highest place in both military and economic terms at the same time.

[Wind_FURY]

Mind you, world power cannot be achieved without a fight so China should prepare themselves for war if they want world power.

But how can the fight and actually win against the United States if their military has no experience in actual fighting. The U.S. military has been VERY busy for decades.

 

Although, China might win the "A.I. Race" simply because it could generate more electrical energy than the U.S., and to scale A.I. data centers WILL require A LOT of energy.

[Findingnemo]

'Debt Trap' is another strategy that CHina uses on every nation that is in need of financial help and they know for sure that they can't repay their debts on the time so they will use that to take over the control of strategic points like ports, airports and other places where trades are majorly involved. Yes, they are proving that we don't need bullest to take the control it can be done with strategy alone.

I think what China has been able to do is to be less concerned about taking over countries militarily but more concerned about filling the gaps that other global powers have ignored for years. For instance, many developing countries needed infrastructure, funding and fast execution of developmental projects and China immediately showed up when the western institutions were too conditional, over demanding and absent making it easier for China to penetrate most of these developing countries with loans, road and railway projects and power projects because unlike the west, they came with fewer political lectures and guaranteed quicker delivery.
