@dissident,
That is why I have called it "general idiocy".
Means mindless introduction of certain policies leading to situation when opposite policies have to be introduced to prevent catastrophic outcome.
Eg. another incarnation of *Great War on Sparrows*.
@Ibon,
There is some truth in what you say, means that chinese corporations like to have chinese only command chain. That doesn't work well though, as countries with large Chinese minority populations are introducing laws *forcing* chinese companies to employ locals on top positions or else licenses to operate might be revoked.
My wife, who is Malaysian Chinese may tell much about it, eg her father's company was forced to employ few in her words "lazy pigs", eg Malay citizens, on high management positions and that regardless that they even "cannot read and write", so are entirely useless and hindrance only.
NB. I do not find it strange that they are illiterate in chinese - not the easiest language to learn, if you want to be *literate* in particular.
So Chinese are running their business very much like Jews do, they seem to fleece local populations of wealth and sometimes there are *pogroms* of them when enough is enough.
My wife's family had to run away to Singapore and stay there few months during such a pogrom, but somehow their property was spared and later they could come back.
About 20 years ago there were similar pogroms of Chinese in Indonesia when Suharto was overthrown.
And of course one of most famous pogroms of Chinese were organized by The Last King of Scotland, eg. Idi Amin of Uganda. They had to paint themselves black, if they wanted to stay and still there was a lot of harrasment.
So it will be a fierce competition between Jews and Chinese in the future. Jewish global empire based mainly on US influence faces fierce competition from Chinese newcomers.
However I still cannot agree that current u-turn in China policy has growth of empire in mind.
I think, their primary objection is to ameliorate self inflicted demographic catastrophe and threat of economic collapse.
It seems that regarless how inteligent Chinese might be, their style of governing is often leading to huge catastrophes with body counts running in tens of millions.
Are you aware that in 8 century AD they had a civil war with more than 13 millions of dead and they had other civil wars where there was more than 20 millions of dead?
https://www.businessinsider.com/bloodie ... 14-10?IR=T Somehow, I doubt that Chinese will build global empire.
They are prone to an awful mismanagement and curent population woes are an example of that.
All what they will probably achieve is bringing American/Jewish empire down, but they are unlikely to be successors.
More likely multipolar world is going to result (or an atomic war if worst come to worst).
