The venerable “Firefly” series explored this a bit way back in 2002. The idea was that since china is _the_ superpower even the lowliest scum would know a curse word or two in chinese. Was quite an interesting concept back then.
- Lio 6y agoIt’s an interesting programme but I don’t really think life in the next 100 years will resemble Firefly. It’s probably closer to the truth to imagine a world with no Western intellectual property or manufacturing. That will mean “interesting” changes. For example, what would it mean if most western pharmaceutical companies fail and access to cutting edge medicine was only available through China? What power would that give the CCP and what would they do with that considering their current ambition? Look at their expanding South American fishing fleet and naval action in the South China Sea for clues.
