On these points, we’ll disagree.
That Western pride is hard to give up isn’t it? Just keep telling yourself that China must fail, while China continues to succeed beyond all expectations.
China will be #1 in robots (also robot soldiers and drones) and they will be able to draw on a vast array of vassal States for food sources from varied climatic regions.
The Maunder Minimum isn’t going to be that severe. It will be enough to tip the West into the abyss, but not enough to stop China’s highly diversified approach. One of the reasons Asian civilization has endured is that it is more diversified against Maunder Minimums and Ice Ages than Europe. Climate change will increase crop yields in some places and decrease them in others. And Asians are not even one generation removed from surviving on less than one meal a day, so they’re more hardy and prepared to overcome hardships.
China will be the dominant superpower or empire by 2033. That’s does not equate to dominating every facet of life in the world. In order for China to expand its empire, it can’t micromanage all the vassal States that will be within it.
There will be a nuclear war between the U.S.A. and the East within a generation or two. After that, there should be a long period of peace.
I believe China will undertake any technological solutions that are necessarily to overcome food production issues. They have been turning the Gobi desert into fruit farms for example. The Chinese do insanely massive infrastructure projects such as the Three Gorges Dam.
The food shortages are likely to be in the West due to societalcide preventing solutions for being undertaken.
You do not seem to understand that the elephant in the living room is the societalcide of the West.
Advancing technology and large-scale organization by a patriarchal society can deal with (mild) Maunder Minimums now, if the societalcide is not standing in the way.
Tiananmen Square was indicative of China evolving from Communist dictatorship to the tall poppy policy that I have documented in my blog. China is becoming more and more capitalistic. You do not seem to understand the massive change that is underway due to a fork in the road when Russia and China diverged. Russia wanted to maintain total control and is worried about every little thing a Russian does and thinks. Whereas, China is much more pragmatic and allows freedom to the extent one does not challenge their Communist Party decision making power. This is so as to maximize the efficiency of the economic development and capitalism.
It’s not perfect, as there’s sometimes too much centralization and corruption, but it’s much better than societalcide. And besides we in the West will provide decentralization technology to counter the absolute power of the Chinese model. This will provide a proper balance. China will have to embrace technological solutions to the problem of technological unemployment. I have been writing about that topic since 2013.
I have lived in the Philippines for half of my life (~27 years) so I’m able to quickly understand what is going on. This is very difficult for a Westerner to understand, so I forgive you for not being able to quickly familiarize yourself with the information in this blog. I suggest you watch the linked videos.
China has always been focused on sustaining civilization at any costs, even if that meant megadeath. China doesn’t place this huge value on the overinflated, self-importance of individuals. Remember individuals were historically equivalent to farm animals in China. It was cheaper to use humans to cart cargo than horses for example.
