I mean Europeans considered UK a backwater joke until halfway through the age of exploration when UK could now be relevant thanks to it's Navy and using it as pirates or colonizing other less developed areas to gain wealth.
There's a reason they don't try to pick direct fights with other Europeans and rely on French/Spanish/Prussians etc to do the heavy lifting first. Once they don't have a massive gun or naval advantage, they look pretty vulnerable and just hide on their island like they did with Napoleon plus both world wars.
This time however, hiding on an island won't save them from nukes.
Japan wanted to do the same but they don't have the navy to do so. In fact their major wars involving China mostly failed coz their navy messed up.
I do not mind what you say, just last part, the last paragraph, that is really bad for us in Canada.
I imagine that is better in China, but here, that is just a big story to raise taxes by the back door.

Actually, China should seize the opportunity and contribute more to the UNRWA, its budget is only $1.16 billion for 2023.
The Economist is at it again - deliberately gaslighting unsuspecting readers by using the annual relative growth rates of trade (relative to 2007) instead of actual trade data.
While The Economist demonstrated yet again that it is one of the last places you should go to in case you want to learn something about China's economy, listening to Eric Li will clear up your mind about China's future economic development.
Female Chinese diaspora reporter - nuff said.

I see the white caucasoids also fret about Face above all else.
im old enough to remember how the Anglo western MSM kept nitpicking over Asian concepts of Face
Good, divide and rule, let seeds be sown for a disunited states of America.
im quite cynical about this, I believe it’s the Australian elite hedging their bets. They’d prefer America to stay on too but need an insurance policy in case they lose the war and get dragged in front of a PLA war crimes tribunal. Labor, liberal, doesn’t matter, their stance is always anti China, anti Asia, so why show mercy and consideration? Nothing less than the utter sinicisation of Australia will suffice.
What is in it for China to intervene in Pakistan's internal power struggle when every Pakistani leader will always be pro-China?
Pakistan knows US will never have its back if India attacks but China will always be beside them. This is just a reflection of fundamental interests. So for China, there is nothing wrong with Nawaz Sharif or Bhutto Govt or an Imran khan Govt. All the same for them.
Agreed Pak's leader will always be pro-China even when they're US stooges. However I think China's interest in Pakistan goes beyond just having an ally against India.
China is interested in building up Pakistan's economy for multiple reasons, strategic hub for 1b1r, stable society against radicalization, market and labor for Chinese capital....etc
While a US installed government won't damage their security relations with China, the current Pakistan leadership has all the hallmark characteristic of a comprador class judging by their policies. It will definitely damage China's effort in building up Pakistan as Pakistan fall deeper and deeper into IMF debt trap.
If we take a broader view of the world outside of Pakistan we can see China is trying to build up an alternative economic system among the global south, this endeavor is difficult enough on it's own and nigh impossible if China is unable to defend it's allies from US interventions. It's high time the MSS stop being a hermit.
Problem is without collective Gulf Arab support even China/US combined cannot rescue Pakistan. Arabs may not support as before.
China’s resources are limited. Southeast Asian countries are much better choices for country building.
