Can someone smarter than me tell me if I should be worried about the Chinese century as an American? I'm just hoping to get a good deal on one of those byd cars eventually lol
If they treat the world like the US did during its century, probably, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case. They don't have military bases spread all around the world, they haven't dropped a single bomb, they have businesses and loans they give out but they don't force you to have a certain political or economic system (unlike the West which gives their loans with requirements for austerity attached).
I think the only issue is that they seem to be over correcting and are too uninvolved with other countries. So it will probably be fine lol.
China has never been an international active state, the height was demanding tribute from Indonesia. America in fact was expanonist since its inception. The founding fathers already said "oh one day we will rule all of the americas", like calm down.
They helped Korea which was nice. And I think Vietnam.
And Cambodia, unfortunately.
Thats not really international active.
