>China has put much effort into creating their own logistical pipeline of raw resources
well its not working
they still have almost no freshwater, and are in the process of totally poisoning the few rivers they have. they do not have arable land to grow enough food for themselves. they still got big glaring resource problems. and outside of annexing new territory, which would make them a geopolitical leper, they dont have any answers.

>There are people everywhere where you can offload your cheap Chinese products
the big problem with that is everywhere else has currency thats hardly worth doing that with. the whole point of selling to US was that USD was strong against the purposefully devalued yuan. now yuan is running a little hot due to economic stresses, and theyre stuck selling shit to africa or whatever turdworld currency. its a big step down
