The UK hasn't even fully joined the CPTPP yet, but some already seek to weaponize it's future membership.

To be fair the CPTPP already had Japan in it. This just means that instead of a 5% chance of China making it in, it's closer to a 0% chance now. Free trade agreements with members of the US alliance system are basically impossible now which necessitates a faster shift to the developing world.

Much has been said about Chinese de-dollarization but it isn't happening. They've just shifted their portfolio out of US treasuries to US Agencies and other debt instruments. Which implies some level of resistance from within the policymaking circles at the PBOC to serious de-coupling with the dollar system. It is concerning to say the least.

It's 2023, war is basically inevitable. Why shouldn't I be upset that the leadership is asleep at the wheel which will result in large amounts of unnecessary and avoidable loss of live and property in the PRC?

You can post nonsense ad hominem attacks against me that have no relation to reality but the reality is still here.
Relax. Trade relations are still so high that a war would be cataclysmic for humanity. While geopolitical relations are going the wrong way, it does not mean war between nuclear powers is inevitable.

Trade relations are irrelevant to whether powers locked in an ideological or geopolitical clash go to war be it proxy or total. Germany's top 5 export and import partners in the early 1900s included the UK, Russia, Belgium, and France all of which they attacked with millions of soldiers during the First World War.

The idea that trade axiomatically reduces or prevents the outbreak of hostilities is false and it should stop being repeated to confuse and lull people into a sense of complacency. It's pretty clear that the current confrontation between the US alliance system and everyone else is primarily based on ideology rather than economic calculation.

If you were in the leadership position please do tell how you would navigate China out of this challenging times? Act like Putin and Kim Jong Un? Declare war or ultimatum to any and all would be adversaries including India that any move or slight against your leadership will be an attack on China therefore war? And you believe that you'll have the whole of the population backing you up barking like the mad king? It's very clear to me you have a pedestrian view of leadership let alone geopolitics, not to mention a hot head, with a victim-God complex which makes your style erratic, dangerous not to mention would setback China a millenia.

5% stop pulling figures out of your warmongering ass dude. As I have said before, since you are so eager to go to war, join the military and stop being so melodramatic. You literally bring nothing to the discussion other than say: China's leaders are weak bullshit. The f... K are you even talking about?

China will join CPTPP. The others inside the CPTPP do not really have a choice.

Some members of CPTPP do not want China to be a member. Other members do.

China will just sign the same agreement with the other members.

Then flood the CPTPP market with goods targeting those who did not let China join.

One way or other, China will assert itself in it own neighbourhood, and especially towards those shits.
