International Can China be doubted at this point?

[Nizam al-Mulk]

They are unified in many areas. Creating the caliphate and subjugation the infidels are common ground that Muslims will gladly cooperate for.

That will not happen. it was stupid when the war hawks said it in the early 2000s.

A great example of:

Quran 3:28states:
"Let not the believers take for friends and allies infidels instead of believers. Whoever does this shall have no relationship left with Allah—unless you but guard yourselves against them, taking precautions

(It's okay to lie to the infidels)

And that means logistics and persuasion stopped being a thing?

Two big reasons to not worry about China:

1) Their population is aging badly and the one child policy means there isn't many to replace them.
2) Automation with robotics and AI will make their cheap labor obsolete in the near future.

1)They haven't had a one child policy for ten years
2)They're not cheap labor and haven't been for awhile and that would also apply to the west anyway
3)In the US case, since we got rid of all our manufacturing and China actually... manufacturers things, that gives them an advantage

My favorite part is him calling out Australia's aggression and fighting other people's wars, basically saying Australia is cucked by the US.

Pepper your angus for a New Chinese Century, comrade. No can defend.

This is REAL:


The good news is that it's not too late to be friends with China, but you'll have to stop acting like idiots in denial and stop trying to hinder their development.

Door opens by itself? Haven’t seen that kind of technology since I walked into 7 eleven last week. Chinas COOKIN here imo.

Like any country, China has lots of strategic challenges, not least of which are a rapidly aging population (and- critically - it is happening before they become a rich GDP per capita country like Japan and South Korea), poor political system, shaky financial system, and a real tail risk re invading Taiwan.

On the other hand, they remain at the forefront of manufacturing and are making the expected transition from low cost producer to an innovator with their own global brands, massive domestic market, and improving terms of trade with Russia as a de facto client state to supply raw materials.

The biggest short term question is whether the US will continue to dismantle the global alliance and trade system of which it has been the center of since WW2.

The same was posted in 92, 02 and 12.

And they were right in 92, 02 and 12... it's just that nobody every predicted AI and Automation to take over until around 2030, even back in 1992 experts were saying 2030.
