I don't know much about China but it doesn't seem to be a war faring country. That doesn't mean it isn't dangerous.
I think they will infiltrate other countries by stealth rather than force.
They have spies everywhere.

They have infiltrated other countries by stealth.
We first noticed it when travelling in North Macedonia and Serbia ( they are building huge coal mines there)
But the most concerning is their infiltration of European shipping ports.

I'd be interested too.

One thing that is noticeable is Chinese influence and involvement in many of the Pacific Islands too.
Building ports and harbours, loans, aid and agreements with governments in that region.

Not to mention the Indian Ocean and Chagos, the Chinese badly want Diego Garcia as a base to dominate that region. Most of Africa has Chinese debt it can't repay and Chinese owned businesses are beginning to dominant the commerce in many places.

They had their time and blew it.
In my opinion.

They are now a shadow of what they were.

They never recovered after Brexit.
Not properly.

Then Germany fell apart.

Havd to agree that seems a bit meaningless fancythat. Could you put some fat on it?

Good to hear you also found it interesting Sealady. The Amercan watching it and commenting is obviously educated but it still seemed to take him by suprise. They've given the Americans such a weird view of themselves that the truth will be very hard for many I think.
