western elites made money from china's rise and they will make money from china's fall. both were decided decades before they happened and it was never meant to go any other way. how stupid or delusional does one have to be to think the real world is some movie or video game where it would ever be possible that china could become the top dog just like that? take your head out from your ass and open your eyes chang

China was the world’s second largest economy 100 years ago. It is still the world’s second largest economy. Nothing has changed and nothing will change.

>> No.16062150

>>16061946

Kishore Mahbubani has long filled a convenient slot on the international conference circuit (when there was such a thing) as the straight-talking Asian fond of speaking unwelcome truths to westerners.

True to form, Has China Won? is certain to antagonise and even outrage American readers. But that is a good thing. For above all, it will force them to confront the unsettling probability that China will this century usurp the US as the world’s hegemon.

In Mahbubani’s telling, written before coronavirus struck, the US ruling classes think their rivalry with China is a rerun of the cold war with the Soviet Union — and they know how that movie ended. It is surely only a matter of time and political gravity before the liberty-loving, free-market superpower sees off the latest uppity communist dictatorship.

Mahbubani picks up on that cold war analogy. But this time, he argues, the roles are reversed: the US is the inflexible, ideological, systemically challenged superpower, while China is the adaptable, pragmatic and strategically smart rival. “America is behaving like the Soviet Union, and China is behaving like America,” he writes.

Like an overzealous proctologist, Mahbubani probes America’s most sensitive parts. In spite of the increasingly bellicose noises coming out of Washington, the US has failed to develop any coherent strategy to deal with a resurgent China, he argues. That is in glaring contrast with the patient strategy of containment articulated by the US diplomat George Kennan in 1946 at the start of the cold war. Mahbubani gives short shrift to America’s marginalised modern-day diplomats: there are, as the former defence secretary Robert Gates observed, more members of military marching bands than US foreign service personnel.

The former Singaporean diplomat adds that US politics has been captured by a short-sighted plutocracy that would not survive long if the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, criminalising bribery of officials abroad, applied at home.

Lacking any strategic brain, the US has become over-reliant on military muscle and entangled in perpetual wars in the Middle East. The US may account for half of global defence spending, but how much use is its military hardware in a software age? US aircraft carriers, which can cost up to $13bn to build, can be easily sunk by one of China’s DF-26 missiles, costing a few hundred thousand dollars.

Most tellingly, the US’s social and economic model has stopped delivering for most of its people. “America is the only developed society where the average income of the bottom 50 per cent of the population has gone down over the past 30 years. In the same period, the Chinese people have experienced the greatest improvement in their standard of living ever seen in Chinese history,” he writes.

>> No.16062157

>>16062150

It is in the nature of a polemic to maximise all evidence supporting an argument and minimise everything that contradicts it. So it is with Mahbubani: unsparing on the US’s failings, he glosses over China’s manifest flaws. The Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, in which tens of millions died, merit one sentence. The current unrest in Hong Kong is dismissed as a struggle between the homeless and real estate tycoons.

Mahbubani is as effusive in his praise of China’s leaders as he is damning of their US counterparts. President Xi Jinping’s removal of term limits was necessary to counter factionalism and corruption. His rule delivers three public goods to the world: restraining Chinese nationalism; responding to climate change; and ensuring that China is a status quo power, not a revolutionary one. “There is a very strong potential that Xi Jinping could provide to China the beneficent kind of rule provided by a philosopher king,” he gushes.

In the end, Mahbubani ducks the question his book’s title poses. Despite his criticisms of the US, he recognises its many strengths: an individualistic culture; the best universities in the world; a magnetic attraction for the world’s best and brightest (including 351,000 Chinese students); and its strong institutions — although Donald Trump is working on that.

He concludes that a “geopolitical contest between America and China is both inevitable and avoidable”. Read this book to be provoked, if not convinced.

China isn't doing anything different from what America does. There's just one factor - China is beating the Americans at their own game. Americans demand political and economic reforms and strong arm countries into doing so. China is doing the same thing (see Sri Lanka, Pakistan, increasingly Africa) and can do it cheaper, faster and overall better than America. There's no morals in any of the situations. China is too big and too rich. Soon, their rise will put Americans in the shadow. Whether that's a good thing for you is another question and can be answered by where you live. My guess is that Europe is going to benefit as they can play off both sides. Pakistan is going to be fucked as it gets reduced to nothing more than client state.

China's dependence on continuous real economic growth is actually a HUGE detriment to it, as other anons have been saying. The US economy is almost entirely rooted in its financial and tech sectors, both of which are essentially bullshit conjured out of thin air. This means that China has to keep building roads, keep employing people, keep wages rising, keep making more crap, keep making more stuff, keep exporting more goods.

The problem is that we live on a finite planet with finite people and finite stuff. There are limits to continuous real economic growth. The fact that China has to lie and fudge the numbers at every level to keep up with its targets is a testament to this. You cannot keep growing forever, unless "Growth" is totally meaningless and divorced from reality.

Which the US's growth is, as the "Growth" that comes from Instagram and twitter is totally meaningless. The stock market is all fake. This is an enormous strength to the US, as it means that there's very little you can actually attack in any meaningful way. Some dude up thread brought up the Three Gorges Dam: when it goes, it'll fuck China's electrical grid, kill millions, and wipe away ungodly amounts of capital (literally, it will destroy factories, farms, etc).

You have to be retarded. The US economy can exist in la la land because people TRUST it. But everyone knows that if creditors stop trusting it, there is no safety net for America. If there is an actual revolution or civil war in this country, the economy is over. China has a REAL economy that can sustain its people and keep a baseline. They have single handedly saved global capitalism TWICE already by sheer demand. There are more China-dependent resources economies accross the world than US dependent ones. The American economy is based solely on its purchasing power of commodities, but its younger generations are buying less than the previous ones, meanwhile the burgeoning Chinese middle class is spending more than the generations before them ever could because of the closed economy. China isn’t the cultural influencer it could be (with a 1.4+ population, increasingly educated and middle class) because of its socialists policies that heavily filter trade (like all the western social media bans).

Considering the sheer number of wealthy Chinese in your univeristies and cultural hubs, do you really think that if they had access to the western spheres of influence (like social media) that they wouldn’t become a far more dominant presence? Get real. The only think keeping China frombeinf that presence is its own nation-first policies. Who knows? Maube this is all for nought, and the CCP is actually communist and will privatized everything again in the future.

So in other words, continue having a real economy rather than one based on imaginary figments like America's is?
Also, China's tech sector is experiencing explosive growth just as much if nor more than America's so it's economy is undergoing "virtual growth" too. Alibaba, Baidu, etc, are some of the biggest companies and all they are is essentially knock off Amazons and Googles catering to Chinese needs. The Chinese leadership saw the potential of a "fake" tech economy and that's why they mandated that no western tech giants could operate in China other than to rent Chinese factory space and built their own "walled garden" software infrastructure (including their own national OS).

China's biggest problem economically is that it is relying on a form of autarky that has its roots in Maoist ideals of self-reliance. They artificially boost GDP by having absolutely no industrial standards for manufacturing and construction which is why all their products fall apart and their many of their buildings collapse.

It goes back to the idea that China has this sort of cultural autism and only knows how to deal with itself. Only fairly recently has Xi Jinping stated "China needs to learn more about the world and the world needs to learn more about China."
America's geopolitical structure derives from the British, who had the only truly global empire that could be effectively administrated, who essentially handed over all their trade secrets after WWII when they realized the game was up. Obviously the US isn't interested in a territorial empire in the traditional sense but relies on economic, military and soft power to influence diplomacy. The USSR was built on an internationalist socialist agenda which it took very seriously, actively trying to gain client states and expand its borders in typical Russian imperialist fashion while fomenting communist uprising in vulnerable countries.
China in contrast can't see beyond its own borders. And if they do, they view it strictly in terms of business transactions. Its investments in Africa, for instance, are motivated by a desire to capitalize on Africa's natural resources by currying favor through loans and infrastructure investment. But they aren't interested in forming a power bloc out of the states they finance.

The truth is, China is incapable of innovation, whether it be technological or social, and is unable to quickly adapt to new challenges. The world sees through its expansionist bs in the South China Sea, and its Silk Road initiative in Africa has been a disaster. The US, though suffering domestically, has consistently been able to project power all over the globe, and it will be decades before this is challenged.

>Since the twentieth century, the inevitable fate of humanity has been to enter into the world empire. No matter whether we see it as a source of “everlasting peace” or if we maintain our Communist expectations, and no matter how much we criticize and or deplore technological, economic and political hegemony, we cannot escape the arrival of the age of world empire. If we say that the origins of world empire can be traced to competition between regional civilizational empires, then today’s world empire 1.0 is the model of world empire shaped by Western Christian civilization.

>This model faces three great unsolvable problems: the ever-increasing inequality created by the liberal economy; state failure, political decline, and ineffective governance caused by political liberalism; and decadence and nihilism created by cultural liberalism. In the face of these difficulties, even the United States has pulled back in terms of worldwide military strategy, which means that world empire 1.0 is currently facing a great crisis, and that revolts, resistance, and revolution from within the empire are unravelling the system.

>The rise of world empire completely changed traditional political and ideological distinctions between left and right, traditionally based in domestic politics, as can be clearly seen in the competitive elections in the United States and Europe. The right wing, which traditionally defended free markets, has now shifted toward populism, while the left wing has changed its tune and now defends the vested interests of globalization. This ideological reversal is an excellent reflection of the crisis faced by world empire today, in that there are no political programs that can address the three great problems world empire is facing.

The several thousand years of the history of mankind have witnessed only three great changes in imperial form, and each of these changes has been accompanied by great conflicts and chaos.

The civilization that is able to provide genuine solutions to the three great problems facing world empire 1.0 will also provide the blueprint for world empire 2.0. As a great world power that must look beyond its own borders, China must reflect on her own future, for her important mission is not only to revive her traditional culture. China must also patiently absorb the skills and achievements of humanity as a whole, and especially those employed by Western civilization to construct world empire.

China's rise to dominance can be characterized by a shift from an export-oriented economy to a domestic-led one, in which state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are the principal players. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The rise of China in this role is an example of state-controlled economic development in a capitalist economy, with the state providing much of the infrastructure needed to sustain this development, including the ability to buy off rivals. Thus the rise of China is an affirmation of the superiority of the capitalist model, including its ability to provide the basis for development in an impoverished environment.

anon let me explain this. your country existed for 200 years or so. it has been a world power since ww2, and it has been the world's hegemon for 10-20 years. 2008 spelled it's final decline.

china existed in one form or another for thousands of years and it has always been the center of the world. it's produced everything worthwhile and every other country wanted it's products. this was true for centuries and the european age of discovery happened because they wanted chinese products.

now there was a slight hiccup in chinese hegemony due to european and american technological and political developments that china failed to adopt.

they now closed that gap in technology and adopted the latest european political developments, i.e., communism. meanwhile the west is enslaved to outdated capitalist ideology that is destroying their economies and their politicians don't have any plans besides surviving to the next elections.
the people who did have long-term plans, i.e., the civil service were defunded and gutted for idiotic political reasons to make some excel sheets look good.

Why would you make this topic when the world is still moving on? The United States is still operatingright now and they have been the best country in the West for how many years now? They’re competing with one of the worst countries in the world who just happen to have a lead because they’re feeding off the energy of an economy built off slave labor manufacturing. But you know what? They still fucking suck. The United States is one of the best fucking countries in the world, they went 2.3% last year and would of won the highest GDP if the economy didn’t choke. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you’re going to be embarrassed when the United States wins and someone bumps this topic.

It's more subtle than that. China's "socialism with Chinese characteristics" is state capitalism. It merges state controlled centralized planning and
"free market" enterprise in a way that makes the typical orthodox economist look like a clown. There's virtually nothing communist about it save for the symbolism and aesthetic of Maoism™ , which if nothing else could be interpreted as brand continuity. The CCP thinks nothing of communist revolution and if anything is terrified of the prospect. Instead they cultivate a stable of multibillionaire technocrats who constitute the business elite who answer to Beijing. In this respect they are much like Putin's oligarchy in Russia.
Chinese state capitalism has the advantage of free market innovation, where the smartest are allowed to pursue practical scientific and technical ideas relatively freely, but all value is captured and mediated by the state. The state does not seek to granularly micromanage every aspect of the economy but private enterprise is obligated to follow the government agenda.

There's a point where the term "socialism" just becomes meaningless. If socialism is the public ownership of the means of production, which is like saying water is H20, then China isn't socialist. 80% of businesses are privately owned including the huge tech companies that rake in billions. Granted the CEOs and founders of these companies are kept under the CCP's thumb and removed at any moment, but legally speaking they own their companies.

The only undeniable socialistic attribute of modern China is that private ownership of land is outlawed. You can only buy rights to use land with up to 70 year leases. But who actually owns the land then? Not the people but the CCP.

Consider the case of Jack Ma, the humane face of Chinese capitalism. Though he denies accepting government startup funds, he is the golden boy of the new economy. Complete with an inspiring origin story ("no one would hire me, even at a fast food restaurant"), humanitarian aspirations (Ma is one of the biggest supporters of environmental conservation in the world and retired early to dedicate himself to philanthropy), and an accessible, cute, frank public persona, if China could produce more representatives like Ma it would have an ideological secret weapon. He transcends Chinese insularity and creates a favorable public image of the new China.

>China and America are world powers without serious rivals. They eye each other warily across the Pacific; they communicate poorly; there seems little natural empathy. A massive geopolitical contest has begun.

America prizes freedom; China values freedom from chaos.
America values strategic decisiveness; China values patience.
America is becoming society of lasting inequality; China a meritocracy.
America has abandoned multilateralism; China welcomes it.

That's the write-up for the book. Pretty obvious that Kishore is a retard. Peer conflicts aren't decided by communication, empathy, values, or cultural differences. Cold War 2 will be decided in the same way Cold War 1 was: nuclear standoff, economic efficiency, proxy wars, resource conflicts and alliance construction.
