This is why the West is losing. Keep parroting paper tiger rhetoric all you want if it makes you sleep at night, but the truth is that if the West doesn’t wake the fuck up, replace the meta narrative of Progress, liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism, it’s going to lose to the East.

>21st century is the Asian century
>Person saying this is a non-Chinese person from Asia
Every. damn. time. To the extent that this statement is true it's entirely due to China being included in Asia. At the same time, parts of Asia, such as the Middle East, will probably become considerably worse in this century. China won't even go on to become a superpower like what the US is today because there will be no "superpowers" at that point. The world order will probably be multipolar with China and the US being the two most powerful countries, in that order.

I have taken the China pill

They are advancing towards socialism and creating an alternative to the decandent neoliberal globalhomo capitalist West that is built on nothing but greed, consumerism, exploitation, and pursuit of perpetual growth in capitalism. China is a challenge to the capitalist hegemony. The neoliberal consensus. They are proud people. They are educated headstrong workers. They are in touch with their culture, their roots, their race, and strive for a goal. They are unified. They utilize the theories of Marx instead of disregarding them. They strive for a better tomorrow and a collectivist view rather than selfish individualism. This is why they will crush the West.

I could see Japan being more powerful in terms of cultural power, but not geopolitics. I think East Asian countries other than China have a bright future too in the sense that they will mostly be in the same ballpark that they're in now, which is relatively good.

>>17062126
IMO even at the point when China becomes the strongest country they will still have many of the societal issues that hamper them today. I don't mean stuff that people might disagree with for ideological reasons either. Corruption and low societal trust are bad in any society. I don't even know if they'll ever be able to fix those. The thing is, they are just going to keep chugging along to the top despite this because their metrics are so good elsewhere.

Yes, their populations are huge and this isn't weighted for number of times a publication is cited or anything like that. Still a win in absolute numbers though. Even if Asian people are not as innovative, which seems plausible given these data, does it even matter? The West prides itself on its liberalism and scientific openness. All East Asian countries have to do is just copy Western countries to stay on par in science while they supersede them in other respects, or am I missing something?

As Hegel pointed out, the Orient has a fundamentally conservative, regressive stage of historical development. It is unable to progress beyond a despotic, in which individual will is confined by the universal will and power is typically invested in a singular figurehead embodies by the Emperor (think Xi Jinping or Kim Jong-un). The oriental world-historical consciousness seeks only to perpetuate its own stasis; it is defined by its own immobility and seeks to preserve it.
Western world-historical consciousness is instead characterized by a diffusion and complexification of power, the rule of some rather than one, and an increase emphasis on subjectivity.

For these reasons, China, India, and Japan would have never changed unless Western influences came into play and provided them with a different template. Their tendency is toward one of caste, hierarchy, static social relations, regularity and the repetition of the past.

That's not to say that China is a socialist utopia that evil western propaganda is smearing, it's just that they figured out how to create a state that understands modern problems while the western powers are full of Davos men who want to privatize everything in order to fund their parties all over the world.

No, much profound technological innovation is happening in places like China, and off an on Japan. China, as Hegel stated, is the birthplace of history, and thus it is tied to a despotic origin which it cannot escape. China is indeed developing advances in AI technology which ware the wonder of the world. But it is not using them for the betterment of all humanity, for the higher universal ideal. It is using it to devise a way which repeats the concept of China, forever and forever more. China's advanced AI technology is turned inward to surveil and monitor its own populace and censor its internet. China cannot fully grasp the whole world within its concept, because its Confucian and Taoist and other cultural primers teach it to remain inward. It is an "introverted" cultural phenotype through and through, while the west is more extroverted.
I'm no western chauvinist by the way. If China were to see beyond itself I would be its absolute supporter and fellow traveler. But as it stands China currently seeks to do nothing but recapitulate its form with slightly better characteristics and play into the same petty power politics which has dragged the world into ignorance.
China right now if it chose to fully deploy itself for humanitarian ends would win the undying admiration of the mass of humanity. Its own communist upbringing stays in the back of its mind, and I do think that leaders such as Mr Xi in the back of his mind retains an idealistic remnant of communism rather than raw pragmatism and national self interest. If given a chance. Some argue that China is communist in name only, but there is a reason they have not dropped that designation. It's because some among them believe in the ideal.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has become an autonomous ideology unified under the consciousness of 1/6th of the world's population. My belief is if China, as the origin of history, can view itself as the future of history unselfhishly, the human race can progress into an age of peace and harmony.

>The government controls the corporations rather than the other way around
Generally accurate. The government is basically a mafia that monitors and contains anything that could be a threat to it.
>They do not tolerate divisive behavior that threatens state unity, unlike the west where racial, religious, and gender idpol are omnipresent
Another way of looking at this is that they are obsessed with the idea of stability to the point of paranoia, and their desire for homogeneity and conformity will damage them in the long run because it will reduce the diversity (in the evolutionary sense) of their society and enforce dependence on centralised systems of governance.
>They aggressively fund public projects rather than leaving to the free market like in the neoliberal west (which leaves most forms of development impossible because they fail to turn quarterly profits)
Yes, but China will (if it has not already) reach a point where all the low hanging fruit of modernisation, urbanisation, and public infrastructure investment has been picked. After that, this investment becomes malinvestment because the government is just spending money and gaining debt without getting enough productivity benefits back. There are some who say their growth model is actually significantly based on building craploads of unnecessary apartment buildings - often of questionable quality. Similarly, the belt and road projects are also often uneconomic but are done partly for make-work or geopolitical purposes.
>Social credit and enforced family creation programs create social sustainability
But they are still facing an incredible demographic decline over the next couple of decades thanks to the one child policy. This is partly why they are acting so aggressively right now - they will soon be unable to fulfill the promises of growing economic prosperity to their people, their urbanisation and industrialisation boom is going to dissipate as supply chains diversify post-COVID, and they need to secure some value-added industry before they smash into the middle income trap.
>Their military is made up of zealously loyal fanatics, while western militaries have become welfare programs where the majority don't give a shit
You're mistaking indoctrination for courage. Their military is basically made up of random peasants who have been taught to believe in China's superiority. In a real conflict, even with a foe like Taiwan, these sorts of people will be vulnerable to disillusionment and low morale precisely because they have been inflated with unrealistic delusions and high expectations.
>Engages in a more covert form of imperialism that is subtle enough to avoid the public resentment that western imperialism causes
They pretty much only have money, their diaspora, and cyber espionage... so that's what they use. Many populations have a very unfavourable view of China, especially after COVID. They don't even have the soft power of Japan or Korea.
