This is something that have been conveniently ignored by those who hype about the "next China".
In the 80s when China was opening up, it had already got tens of millions of skilled workers in the SOEs. Its education system were also producing millions of highschoolers and hundreds of thousand college graduates a year.
These two groups became the backbone of China's work force from 80s to 90s. Then came the big expansion of college enrollments that have produced millions and millions of engineers with higher education in STEM every year for two decades. At the same time, the Chinese universities have been ascending rapidly in all kinds of STEM rankings around the world.
Tell me about the "next China" only when another country can do this at the same scale.
Not to mention that, the opportunity for workers of lower educations is about to diminish. In the 80s and 90s, one with a highschool degree could fit most positions in manufacturing. Now college graduates are barely enough to qualify for some of the highly automated assembly lines.
The "If China can, I can, too." meme came to my mind when I saw the headline of Vietnam to get an Intel semiconductor fab.
Time for yet another color revolution to oust the tyrant!
He had stunningly bad takes on China Russia relationship and now the SK China issue. I've long given up.
That was the same stupid argument by racist Australians when they blame China for economic coercion or bullying or whatever stupid term they call it after china stopped buying some of their products. This was after Aus gov kept shitting on China but expect China to take it all in the face and still buy their wines and lobsters.

The US government is rather dysfunctional, because some of its members are sociopaths.
Some Western publications are published by sociopaths, and are published for sociopaths.
Ukraine is like a sinking ship. No matter how much money you send in, it will be siphoned off very quickly by those who are preparing to jump ship.

In regard to Ukraine, given the fact that Twitter is filled with fake news, this is the link to the interview:
and his plea for loans starts at 29:35
This argument is going in circles, mainly because you make up your own definitions.
It's basically impossible to argue in good faith when you make up your own definitions.
But for the record, what China did to South Korea is not bullying because it's self-defense against US-SK aggression. It has nothing to do with "China's rights" or whatever mental gymnastics you trying to justify with, and makes no sense whatsoever. It's self-defense against aggression, so it's not bullying. It has nothing to do with "Rights" or "Bullying=Invasion" non-sense.
