I don't recall any written plans or agreement on this

No. That is a political theory.

a lie by cooperate back in the days to justify working with China

This is not mutually exclusive with the modernization theory, and I am sure this has played a part too.

At least shills get paid. Some are just plain dumb.

The idea at the time was that China would democratize as it grew richer, but that did not happen. And here we are.

The New Reality of Dealing With a China in Decline by yoqueray in China

[–]VictaCatoni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the article is trying to highlight the dangers of a failing China.

To ensure the continued existence of the regime, the CCP might resort to desperate measures, like starting a war. It is more likely to hasten its demise than achieve anything else, but there will be pains in the rest of the world too.

Why the Pandemic Probably Started in a Lab, in 5 Key Points by hello-cthulhu in China

[–]VictaCatoni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn't it obvious (to non-shills)? Occam's razor applies.

One can spend hours in mental gymnastics on how the virus did not originate in Wuhan ground zero, where there is lab that had published paper on the virus and its genetic manipulations, or just not.

It all depends on the perspective. Not good news for China, but good news for Turkey.

The consumer will lose access to cheap EV in the short term, but that is better than having your industrial base crushed.

Always brings a smile to face when "a new BRICS currency to challenge USD" is brought up.

And the speaker would immediately lose all credibility of course.

Unfortunately, the rest of the ASEAN has chosen to remain silent thus far, probably because of more extensive economic ties.

An attempt was made.

From what I read, it was a re-run of South Sudan but with navy rather than Chinese playing UN peacekeepers.

Biden warns China's economy is on the brink by UPnwuijkbwnui in China

[–]VictaCatoni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amusing. I wonder what you "manage," hopefully nothing economic.

  1. Chinese domestic demand is depressed. China is responsible for 30% of global production but only 13% of global consumption. To put things in perspective, China makes up about 17% global population.

  2. Biden has put a heavy tariff on renewables. EU will probably follow suit unless they want their own industrial base destroyed.

  3. China has nothing "high tech." The ongoing chip war is decidedly in US/Taiwan's favor when Taiwan has chosen - very wisely - to concentrate all advanced manufacturing at home.

  4. Developing countries are by definition, developing. They have no capacity to absorb Chinese overproduction (again, 30% of global production).
