You are correct!
Vietnam is a vital, and prinary, future partner in development! My error in omitting Vietnam! Development should always start closest to home.
Isn’t North Korea much farther along, in terms of industrialization, than is Vietnam?

I used industrial because it is the most relevant one. When it comes to other areas of economy China is equally good. They produce most science papers as well as the impact rating of the papers. There are more resources in China and partners (explored on second point), as well as better infrastructure. Demand like service demand is a bullshit measure because American overpay their health care, but that does not make their economy grow bigger. If you go by industrial demands like electricity, steel, China is still ahead because they consume most of what they make.
Citation needed. You know Russians are also Europeans and on China's side right? Compare to NATO country size.
Next I cited resources such as mineral, oil production. You will find similar results for top agricultural productions as well.
Note Saudi Arabia and other gulf states is moving into China's camp too.
Lawsuits aren’t the answer, but black Americans are so brainwashed and bought by Christianity, sports, Hollywood BS, and trinkets, that, even if AmeriKKKA tried to bring back slavery, few would actively resist! The people advocating and advancing these policies should suffer the same fates as the most prominent Civil Rights leaders of the 60’s!
only Arabs can force Kazakhstan and Iran to go against West. otherwise they will be neutral or west leaning. I dont think you understand Turkic world or Iranian interests. look at Qatar emir reception in Kazakhstan this summer. you will learn alot.

Sometimes, what you didn't see is more important than what you saw.
I'm just glad that there are Japanese with conscience.
David P. Goldman: Wall Street financiers can steal from the funds for the Chips and Science Act all they want. But we are all on a sinking ship.
You can't make this up.

Industrial production almost completely ignores industries like software and AI, which are critical strategic industries. China's industrial output matches that of the US + EU, but is still below that of the Western alliance when you include countries like Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, etc.
As for country size, look at this map for adjusted land size since the flat map overestimates the land mass of countries around the polar regions, like Russia and Canada, due to the spherical shape of the earth:
If you add them all up, the Western alliance is significantly bigger. Canada + US + Australia pretty much = China + Russia. The EU is much bigger than the rest of China's partners. Then add in Japan, South Korea, Ukraine, etc. Demographically, the Western alliance as defined by the US + its treaty allies is 1.4 billion people, which is less than China + Russia, but not by much.

Again, citation needed. I gave you hard number, you gave me 'trust me bro'. Think this way. If there are key resources NATO could deny to Russia and China, they would have done it already. Evidently they do not control the resources. All I see are American whining about rare earth and begging for higher oil production.
Thats pretty odd, because I did not even use the map projection you used. If anything your projection further proves my point. The map size makes size in China's favor. Because it shrinks all global north, which include every relevant NATO member except Australia. For Chinese partners only former soviet union is affected, which is smaller than the portion mentioned of NATO. Places like Iran and Saudi Arabia is now almost size of EU.
Also you are only compare Russia and China to NATO for some reason, but forgot CSTO members like Belarus and Kazahstan. Add in Mongolia too for good measure. Europe is fucking tiny. Only US, Canada, Australia are relevant in land size in NATO. EU size is accounted by minor partners of China without using former soviet states.

Yes but only in MIC. Their civil industry is not cost competitive. That doesn't mean its behind, but the reality is, mass produced handmade shirts sold for 50 cents made by sweatshop laborers will make more money than a power plant or engine that's a few decades out of date, even though its much easier to sew shirts than build power stations or engines.
It's the same problem Ukraine faced, actually - they had all this industry, including jet engines, yet can't sell them because they're just a little worse than the competition, but in a market with so few buyers, a little worse might as well be stone age.
The idea that North Korean industry is just it's military is a western myth. Most things industrial North Korea is ahead of Vietnam. Vietnam is a third world country, North Korea is not.
The problems North Korea have nothing in common with Ukraine whatsoever. The Ukrainians mismanaged the assets they had inherited from the USSR through corruption, despite receiving billions from both the EU and Russia. North Koreans have had to build everything from scratch from nothing.
