China is now, by far, the world’s leader in renewable energy with over 788,000 MW of total installed capacity in 2019. The closest competitor, the USA, has about 1/3rd of that capacity
China has become a world leader in science and technology. By one measure, patent applications by residents in China have exploded from about 4,000 in 1985 to 1.3 million in 2018. By comparison, Japan saw just 253,630 in 2018.
Gains in science and technology have translated into major military and defense achievements. In 2014, China became one of the first countries to successfully test a hypersonic glide vehicle, the DF-ZF.
China is now the world leader in transportation infrastructure. As of 2018, China had 17,000 miles of high speed rail or 60% of the world’s total.
Chinese SOEs are world leaders. These include the world’s largest, or near-largest: Telecom, energy company, bank, infrastructure company, railway, metals company, shipping company, mobile telecom and automobile company. The 4 largest banks in the world are Chinese SOEs.
While the CPC has exercised a sophisticated multi-level strategy of preventing capital from forming class consciousness or exerting political control, it has also pursued a direct strategy of establishing CPC committees within private companies.
Not only are these committees widespread, they are beginning to take an active role in strategic decisions made by companies. This has sparked a flurry of concerned reporting from Western media and is likely contributing greatly to the US’ current strategic attitude towards China
For US imperialism, the failure of market reforms to undo the CPC and socialist construction is a major issue. Market reforms and a semi-open economy in China were supposed to not only afford huge benefits to US capitalism but destroy the ideological base and power of the CPC.
It has become clear to US empire planners that China’s collapse is not coming anytime soon, and that they have gotten the losing end of the bargain."
I would like for this article to be as collaborative and fluid as possible: if you have tips/news articles on the current hybrid war on China that you think are important, I want to add to them to the fourth section. My DMs are open. Thanks friends.
Major Global Times editorial on 5/8: "China needs to prepare for a long-term challenge[...]it's an urgent task for China to expand its nuclear arsenal and strengthen its strategic strike capacities."https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1187788.shtml …
Some points from the editorial: -Strengthen ties with US allies by narrowing differences rather than enlarging them -Boost nuclear arsenal -Prepare for "worst-case scenario" WRT technology export restrictions -Have patience, US is the one that is distressed
