The World, Built by China
Exceptional piece of research.<p>I&#x27;m still dazzled why the realisation of what China&#x27;s &quot;grand plan&quot; was, came so late into mainstream political culture in the West.<p>Few month ago, I wrote a piece saying that China was long preparing (at least since 1991,) an economic war chest in case the country will be hit by sanctions like North Korea was, or even worse. A big portion of all national level economic programs since 1991 were there to aid and act upon that strategy. And they weren&#x27;t even trying to conceal the original strategy paper, and if one can get access to state archives, they will find a lot of evidence that Chinese state did fully commit to it as early as 1992. The motto of the program is &quot;the primacy of expansionism.&quot;<p>They correctly identified that US domination in 20th century came from how they moulded the world after WW2. Now, when the West wasted itself on two decades of useless &quot;wars on X,&quot; they felt that:<p>1. &quot;The world was messed up enough&quot; to yield to China&#x27;s own Marshal plan.<p>2. This is the last opportunity to act before US takes action<p>So, all those impressive t-bill, cash, gold, and FX reserves that the West gave China in the last 30 years, will now be used by China to buy its own Pax Sinica
