      I think in a few months - with a deeply destabilized Russia, in the throes of coronavirus economic collapse - China will have a chance it would never have otherwise

      How will China take advantage of this chance?

          Is there anything along the border China wants THAT badly? More economic/anti-Western bloc creation seems more likely, imo.

          China balance sheet: +4T, mfg. activites at all time high to 'save the world' Rest of the world's balance sheet after stimulus: -20T ? Equities at 80% off Other assets at steep discounts The one with the cash in hand will be the winner unless there are laws enacted to stop that

          1. Mass purchase of EU companies & bailouts of EU nations. 2. Leverage companies to lobby EU governments to weaken NATO + disassemble the post-WW2 world order. 3. Cold War emerges. Democracy vs authoritarianism. Once more, the victor decides the fate of humanity.

          Future 1 4. An American Churchill/Reagan/FDR arises and helps to slay the dragon—China becomes democratic 5. Humanity colonizes the stars, establishing democratic international governments on each celestial body 6. Humanity progressively unifies on Earth as our scope expands

          Carriers and nukes project US power. US is now losing the former to CV. We thought cruise ships were bad -- Imagine CV in tight quarters of a naval vessel. Personally horrifying, strategically disastrous.
