Tribute system has such an undeserving negative connotation in English. What would actually happen is tribute states will arrive with a delegation made up of officials and traders. The officials will gift the imperial court gifts unique to their nation, Qing is then obliged to return a gift of gold and silver of much superior value. Then once this official tribute process is completed the traders are then free to engage in trade in Qing.

It was so profitable (and costed Qing so much) that emperors had to set up a calendar for when you are allowed to tribute and when you are not, because people started to abuse the system for that sweet Qing silver.

While tribute system had Qing China as the central focus, Community of Common Destiny is a much improved version that removed the focus and encourages trades within the community between all members. Eurasian rail for example is not just about sending goods from Eastern China to Hamburg, but rather all the places it runs through also benefit from trading with all other places along the route. This is distinct from ocean based trade which are much more point to point.

Furthermore, according to HK business news, representatives/heads of over 100 German firms wanted to go to China with Scholz, but he couldn't take that many, so only the heads of the 12 largest firms can go, these include: Adidas, Deutsche Bank, Siemens, VW, BioNTech, BMW, BASF, Bayer, Merck.

But I thought that China's massive GDP is nothing but a mirage; a potempkin village since according to a very prominent economic monkey, that China's economic isn't that rosy based on light something something at night....

Why is this supposed not part of China is maintaining to possess priceless cultural relics, treasures, historical artifacts denoting China's almost 5,000 year history?

The western illiterate liars insist that Taiwan is not Chinese and some Taiwanese losers insist they are more Dutch and Japanese than Chinese. So what's up with this s..t

Well, the Brits are Chinese, Egyptian, or Indian either but the British Museum is home to so many foreign artifacts. I think their excuse could go something like that.

I prefer the tribute system. I don't play nice.

We can do the common destiny thing after the Western nations kowtow to us and Japan apologizes to us.

Or we'll just do it after Europe admits they're the jungle and we're the garden.
