    China lives the lie of claiming they’re a middle kingdom and stabilizing power as poorly as America did.

    When America did so, they regularly bombed the middle east, and dethroned many latin American counties, as well as others across the globe.

    China will likely do similar perhaps to a different degree and selection of countries. So there in lays the peril, as well as the question of how countries get chosen for these dishonors, and why.

    Difficulty vs rewards is a lot of it. China, frankly, already has concepts of lebensraum in it’s culture, manufacturing all sorts of false historical claims to expanding Chinese territory.
