China's ambition is to "rejuvenate the nation" to its past glory.
What kind of glory? Who knows. Certainly it's not about simply replacing the USA. China has no wish policing the world. (Maybe dicking around but certainly not busy installing democracy everywhere)
The reason China appears to acting against US is because it looks like the biggest abstacle for China's development is the island chains and the technological gap. Chinese are somehow extremely affirmative of their belief and power structure.
- karmasimida 8y ago> What kind of glory? The envy of the world.
- est 8y agolol right. Even the pretended envy would do.
- dalbasal 8y agoVery likely China will view the US' "world police" strategy the same way the US viewed the later period British Empire. They'll dabble, because of the perceived prestige but probably not really put weight behind it. They'll find something that works (maybe this new silk road) and then rinse-repeat until it doesn't. In time, china will have their own disfunctional, sprawling global dominance machinery..
