It is.

ok what do you see as a superpower

Russia has their influence in the middle east, USA has Europe, and China needs to find its influence

Jinping considers Putin a personal friend

China has its influence

china likes africa more

But the economy of China can't supplement the Russian Economy without the USA.

all the middle east has is oil

superpower: a nation with a large military (over a million) owns any sort of union/alliance and has influence on regions around the world

Africa has a lot more resources to exploit and land to develop

China meets almost all of those checks

China is already striking deals with African nations

China is buying up Africa

@Deleted User what about economy, and stable social conditions

the Kenyan capital-coast highway projec was supervised by China

(((China)))

china has economy

but its social conditions

second largest

social conditions don't really matter when you have the power to not care

What do you mean? It has perfect social conditions. If somebody gets ran over and dies, nobody reports it.

The body just sits there until the cleaners come.

If the person gets ran over and lives, they can immediately claim insurance and they'll automatically win in court.

Especially if the driver takes responsibility, it doesn't matter the circumstances in which they run someone over. It's just a crime in general.

like china's factories are like that of around a century ago

horrible labor laws

What was wrong with those factories?

with workers being treated inhumane and with low pay

China has never had the notion of regulating labour laws

an unstable people = an unstable country

why does the government need to care

Well SOMEONE has to make the iPhones

Ever since the Han Dynasty collapsed.

An unstable people which doesn't have a lot of guns.

it's not like they're going to revolt they can't try and revolt

the government will shut them down before they try

and china really is fucking itself with allies since they insist on being a "communist party"

Russia could care less

You don't need guns to bring a nation to its knees

Iran could care less

theyre allies = countries theyve forced to have economic dependance on them
