I’m not to sure about that. In the beginning China was a monster in terms of influence in the ancient world but as the years went on they lost it all to the west. Now they are striking back with vengeance to the disrespect that they were shown. It’s like if Africa actually got it’s shit together and became a formidable political influence. Now it’s a new phase where the virus might shatter everything they have worked for

You’re telling me that gunpowder hasn’t shaped the power dynamics of nations with its creation? Also China had the Silk Road under it’s control. This lead to voyagers trying to find ways to India by ship just to avoid the Chinese, leading to America’s rediscovery and more

It's chinese propaganda plus anti western westerners wanting to imagine that the rest of the world was actually up to standard. China had some good moments but most of their history was shameful and what they did do well was no better than Rome or any other great civilisation.
It's just made to get you to think that China has a destiny or "rightful place" at the head of the world when really it's just lucky it still exists.
