The Chinese welcome the competition with the Collective West because you will strive to be better and challenge yourself, you never hear them complaint even if the US apply nefarious means. I being a Chinese knowing our history don't want the US to implode cause we can't replace the Americans, It's not in our blood, I'm afraid like what happen from the past, we might isolate ourself and become complacent, that's the danger the CCP seek to avoid.I'm scared of the next generation of leaders, if they are as hasty and antagonistic as some of the posts I read then China's development will stall. You can't dismiss India so easily, it's not about liking them or not, it's about not rocking the boat too much. My suggestion was simple: expand BRICS in a way that will suit everyone.
It's arrogance like this that will cause others to turn against you. Be careful.
I'm not too keen on SA either but it is what it is.
And one more thing, Obama during his term offer the Chinese to share the burden of being a world cop by suggesting to form G2 and term it Chimerica, the Chinese refuse thus the Pivot to Asia was form and implemented. We from the Global South should be thankful IF China accept then god bless us all instead of one bully we have two and the suffering will endure to perpetuity. Now imaging IF that offer were presented to the Indians, what will be the outcome, your guess is as good as mine.
