I see some believe success in China is being and doing exactly what US is doing and China is failing... of course. Then why is the West afraid of being surpassed by China? These days I have a healthy dose of skepticism of any Western media article on the state of China especially the negative. I've mentioned before the story of how there was a news article on how Chinese entities were buying up French wine vineyards outraging the French industry. Multiple articles were written after by different journalists saying the same things making it look like the story is true. One wine journalist was going to write an article too but then decided to fly to France to see for himself. He found out nothing of the sort was happening. He also only found one wine vineyard owner he interviewed that would've had a problem with it if it were happening. How about solar panels? When China started dominating the industry, there were stories in the West how it was a white elephant and China was building all these solar panel farms that weren't connected to China's electrical grid. It was all a giant white elephant that was a big waste of money just to pump up GDP figures like how they said the same with HSR. They milked out two negative stories on China because China was dominating over solar panels which was also a denial on China's economic rise overall. How about the story from Pinkov about how China was dissatisfied with its own domestic fighters and was going to go back to buying Russian fighters all because they wanted to believe Chinese domestic fighters were inferior? Even though China did buy some Su-35s, do we see China's domestic fighters being replaced with Russian? That was one anti-China idiot who wrote that story and all the Western media started writing the same exact story because they like what it said. Western journalism is all about taking one morsel that might have a inkling of truth and then spinning it. It's like how they say stereotypes have a basis of truth in them but then they're exaggerated like hell because people want to believe it's true. I read a lot about China's tech crackdown all because it started with Beijing spoiling Jack Ma's expansive plans. Remember the US before China was talking about cracking down on tech monopolies because of their negative affects and now you have people like Eric Schmidt using China to scare them from doing it. They'll exaggerate or even lie like hell just to make their case.
Why would China want to replicate South Korea's pop culture success. South Korea's goal was to be liked by the West. It's like how I've pointed out before some members in here argue that China can have the best computer processor in the world with the most advanced technology but if the West doesn't buy it, it's a failure. No the most important part is having the best computer chips in the world. That's not real soft power if being liked is the goal. Yeah South Koreans are really arrogant these days because of it but without the US, South Korea would be nothing. China will still be something if the US just fell over a cliff. So which one is more important? The irony is the US and their lapdogs want to make being accepted by the West the most important thing humanity could ever want but all it does make you weak exactly what the purpose it was meant for. If China has it wrong, why are they all worried to death about the future because of China? The West is censoring like hell anything that isn't pro-West. They don't even notice that because... they're pro-West. They're no different from any other autocracy or dictatorship that only allows good things to be said of themselves. It isn't their democratic and human rights principles that makes them right. It's that they have the power and they got there because they had a basic disregard for human rights for others that weren't like them. What the West is afraid of China in the future is not that it's going invade and deny human rights from others. They're afraid that China will do to them what they're doing to China and the rest of the world right now. China might organize countries to place sanctions on the US for their police killing unarmed black men. You know how much of ego blow it will be to Westerners that a non-Western people and countries dictate terms to them? That's why they'll probably lash out in military violence like any evil instead of complying? Throw what's best and good out the window. How about getting countries not to sell and trade, especially the most advanced technology, to Western countries just for being competition. All the things the West takes for granted doing things to the rest of the world... they would be furious if the tables were turned. Does having a boy band the West likes get you that...?
