What does China have to be scared of? Their biggest geopolitical rival is burning every bridge they have with their (former) allies, destroying their own economy and essentially ceding superpower status to anyone willing to fill the power vacuum. All China needs to do is stand back, let it happen, and look like the adult in the room. If I were them I'd be more concerned about Europe than the US.
Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake. - Sun Tzu, or Napoleon. Somebody definitely said it.
- turnsout 2y agoAll true, but a huge portion of their economy comes from selling us goods.

The collapse of the US is going to hurt everyone but China can survive the loss of the US as a trading partner by pivoting to other markets more so than the US can survive the loss of China and maybe everyone else by trying to roll back the clock on globalism. If anything, that just creates leverage for China against the US.
