> If you feel threatened by the idea of a China that economically dominates, I would honestly like to hear your explanation. I think what's actually more worrisome is what happens when China stops growing. The CCP is extremely authoritarian, China's residents are nationalistic and already consider a whole foreign country "actually theirs", it seems like the perfect setup for maybe-accidentally sliding into war when things go sour back at home. As a German, I am not scared of China because they're an exotic "other" culture with 5000 years of history etc., but because they look like fellow Germans at their absolutely worst. Having met Chinese who revere Hitler hasn't really helped. Paranoid? Maybe. We Germans are schooled to be extremely wary of aggressive nationalism :)
