Isn't it weird just how similar China and America is? Sister nations

USA is Western counterpart to China. 1000 years from now, US will have its own version of Confucius and Legalism belief systems based on Evangelism and Constitutionalism respectfully.

There's way more differences, a state that's actually weirdly similar to the USA is Brazil.

Acting like the Turkish state isn't one of the most evil things in existence too kek

Nigga, being realistic, China must grow hard at least 2 decades to reach 2000's USA levels

>>Both superpowers
china is far from a superpower, they can't even get taiwan, can't stop their allies from being bullied by the west, and in general have no power projection around the world
they just made a bunch of money in the last 20 years, but that's like saying japan was a super power in the 80s because their GDP was very high and they manufactured a lot of stuff
being a superpower is a lot more than that

Some of you faggots, think that the next superpower will be some third world shithole like India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico or Nigeria. However, it will not be these street shitting countries nor the UK and Japan, which are old and the dogs of the US.

In reality, the country with the most potential to become the rival to the US, China, EU and Russia, is not any of the above, but Turkey (or Türkiye as they would now like to be called.)

They are the only country with a truly independent foreign policy (in being hated by all their neighbors and the major global superpowers) and the power to intervene in all three continents Europe, Africa and Asia. Turkish intervention has proven decisive in Syria, Libya and now in Ukraine. Given Russia's current weakness, it is only a matter of time before they too are humiliated by Turkey. Turkey defies both the US and EU at will, shits on the faggot Gayreek-Egyptian- Israeli-Arab-French alliance created to contain it, and even has the capability to threaten China over the Uyghur issue. EU can be brought to its knees at any time by Turkey unleashing refugees upon it.

Some of you may say, Turkish economy is in the shitter and cannot support these ambitions. But Turkey has a power greater than currency - the power .... of imagination

>china is far from a superpower,

Nah, they clearly are.

>they can't even get taiwan,

By this logic, America can't even conquer Cuba or Vietnam or NK, they must not be a superpower too. Anyway, they can't get Taiwan purely due to American support. And America has admitted that China has grown so strong that they more or less need support from Japan and SK to even think of defeating China in the region.

>and in general have no power projection around the world

What are you basing this on? The fact that they don't have much carriers? That's the neat part. China doesn't need carriers to project power. China is in the heart of asia. They can project airpower over most of asia and the indo-pacific purely from chinese bases within her borders. Southeast asia, north/south/east/centeral asia, indo-pacific and the middle east can be reached by China, even without tanker support. Same for their ground troops. There's a reason why China has been delaying building carriers even though the country has the money and industrial power to do so. China doesn't need carriers nearly as much as America does.

>can't stop their allies from being bullied by the west

Based on what? Russia and Iran are business partners, nothing more. The USSR nearly nuked China a couple of times and Iran and China don't have much history together. China is more than happy to see Russia get neutered. The only true ally China currently has is NK and Pakistan. Need I remind you that China fought America to defend North Korea, back when china was a African tier shithole without nukes? Or the immense support that Pakistan has been enjoying from China?

>saying japan was a super power in the 80s

Did Japan had a thousand nukes and the 2nd most powerful military in the world? Did they sit in a position that allows them to influence dozens of countries without even needing a single carrier? Did they have a insane amount of raw resources and population?

>>213166585
I think that they're nearly there. And China moves insanely fast, a decade ago, they were a mid tier regional power at best. Today their military is 2nd only to America and closing the gap fast. Sure for their technology, in 2015, not a single field that they were proficient in, today, there's dozens of fields that they're clearly in the lead or a close 2nd place.
