I think China is the workhouse and that's the source of it's power. Ultimately it's a dictatorship with imperial ambitions. It's blatantly using this power already to weaken democracies through IP theft and "overcapacity". It seems like some countries are becoming wary of China and are now moving production to other asian countries. I've seen a few interviews lately of Chinese workers complaining they are no longer employed because the 'west' has moved production abroad and how that's a very bad thing for the world. It seems like people are realising that China has weaponised capitalism. I guess people assumed they would be as benign as Japan in their industrialisation in the 60s-90s.
