>Powerful, yes, but fucking everyone hates them with a passion and wants nothing to do with them beyond what's necessary.

I'm not making any historical prediction

I'm warning you from imagining china as some space age superpower
they were living in mud huts not long ago (some still are)

they've made great strides and built amazing things before as a vast, unified empire. Thousands of years ago. But it can fall apart quicker than you can imagine, when just a moment before everything would have looked OK from the outside

you're not pricing in some of the china downside because as a westerner you actually can't imagine some of the history that country has, and the way that their social structures do (or don't) hold together
They're not just the US with higher pop and lower GDP per capita and a slightly more controlling central government. there's a lot more to the 'glue' that holds the chinese institutions together
