Would be funny if they had another Communist revolution on top of their Communist revolution.

I guess the American plan in the 1970s to make China capitalist actually worked lol

The Chinese thought they were playing us, but we were playing them the entire time.

Just like the old Opium days.

Man, the Chinese are easy to fuck with.

My western European ancestral spirit is delighted.

China during the Han dynasty were the kings of the ocean, making great leaps and bounds, maybe even discovering the americas (but failing to map or record it), then the Qing dynasty emporer said naaa sailing is for losers... Haha if they continued, Aussies, north america and south africa coulda been speaking chinese. .
Some dates
Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) possibly discovered/visited Nth America and sth Africa. Invented paper, metalurgy and astronomy improvements.
Champions

Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) gave up sailing the worlds oceans, deteriorated into poverty in 1800 due to revolts and external pressure. Sounds familiar...
