alt Hacker NewsI was thinking the other day that China is playing it smart. They just have to keep doing what they are doing and they'll win.
Xi isn't doing anything ostentatious like sending his navy to the Persian gulf or overtly dropping weapons supplies in the Middle East. After all they are going for the economic win- something that always eluded the USSR.
Let Trump hang himself and the Chinese make it out like the good guys. After all the most important thing nations want is not human rights it's stability.

Aren’t they going to lose about half their population in the next 75 years?
That’s… problematic

The most stable systems are parliamentary democracies.
Sure, you might be switching governments often (and that's a feature, not a bug) at times, but things change slowly.
Which is what you need in a mature rich democracy.
The last thing you want is to elect hard to boot and control individuals like in presidential and semi presidential republics.
