Chinese Economics Thread

[Century2030]

Prejudice is still a problem in China. Many Chinese would rather learn badly taught English by Russians and Serbians just because they “look Western”.

Sadly, lots of native Asians in Asia equate a western face with being fluent in English. Hence, the schools would rather hire a foreign teacher even if he/she is underqualified for the job. I've heard stories from some Asian Americans that try to apply for a teaching job in Asia and end up getting rejected because of the assumption their english fluency isn't good enough.

If schools move to a more merit system where they take into account the applicant's credentials, experience and do a thorough criminal background check, it will weed out the bad ones. Lastly, the pro-western worshipping mindset of the local populace needs to change as well.

@Century2030 all in due time bro all in due time, we lived in a declining PAX America world, the Americans are destroying the systems they inherited from their forefathers, a system which put America on top. I prefer to lived in a multipolar world NOT a China centric, I don't want China to replace the US as a superpower cause it ain't worth it.

Whether we like/want it or not, China will be a superpower, economically and militarily, in a multipolar world. The US will still be a superpower, not as a hegemon, but one of two if not several in the multipolar world.

@Rettam Stacf we are in a agreement bro, competition is good, complacency is bad. And in this multipolar world is ideal for us in the Global South, I can see it with 3 blocs ( China, Russia and the Collective West) courting us...lol

A multipolar world is inevitable.

The US wants a hegemony. But to be a hegemon, the US has to beat the upcoming competitor at almost everything. So far, the US has not been too successful at it.

China wants to be at the table of a multipolar world. To do so, she just needs to beat the hegemon at some areas, on par with others, and not too far behind in the remaining. China has a much easier task than the US, and hence more likely to achieve her goal.

As for who would be at the table ? I would say Anglosphere+EU vs China+Russia in a bipolar world, with the majority of the global south deftly staying neutral. For a multipolar world, I would say Anglosphere, EU and China each having a seat at the table. Russia, can't say for sure who she will side with at that time. I have nothing to back up my speculation. Just a wild guess.

Did I leave Japan and S Korea out ? Sure did, as I can't figure out how would they react in a multipolar world. The are quite economically integrated with China and too geographical close to both Russia and China. May be they will just switch to neutral.

@Rettam Stacf bro maybe 4 blocs, SK and Japan are part of the Collective West, Russia stand on its own aside from being a Nuclear Power it's a commodity super power as well and you have to count and include the former Soviet state as their sphere of influence, same with China with both manufacturing and a massive market. So whose the forth, IF Iran and the gulf state settled their difference , with their huge oil reserves they can able to play their part. What about ASEAN, they may claim neutral BUT their economy will be suck in by China in due because of proximity.

Now out of the possible 4 blocs, China is unique, she can stand on its own, Russia came close BUT the US needs her allies. If that is not a definition of a superpower then what is?

Russia as a significant bloc is not realistic. It just has too small an economy.

The case in point is Ukraine, which chose the EU over Russia for economic reasons.

@TK3600 bro nothing against India, BUT she can IF she can be magnanimous, South Asia is hers for the taking instead we see animosity against her.

@AndrewS Sir BUT she has enormous influence and even with such small economy her impact is huge, the Ukraine War demonstrated that a Commodity Superpower. From this we can conclude that EU is a paper tiger and Ukraine is having its regrets. And I think Putin had study SunTzu especially this part "pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant"
