Two things are impeding Chinese efforts to achieve superpower status; economic stability and a network of powerful and reliable allies.
The problems with economic stability are linked to the more serious problems with establishing stable relationships with other countries.
Chinese tradition prevents both of these because China traditionally recognizes only enemies and subordinate foreigners.
China does not do allies in the traditional way.

WNU Editor: The above analysis is correct.
Iran and Pakistan are allies.
ReplyDeleteChina had the Chance to make Vietnam and The Phillipines as allies and antagonized them instead.
Iran would be more powerful except for the Gulf State and Israel get in the way. Joe Bite Me will try to help Iran out.
Totally not a reliable ally. Covid - 19 pandemic took any trust away permanently. That was China's last chance and they bungled it.
ReplyDeleteRussia, the most powerful country will never be an ally. Putin already said that in case of a war between US and China it will not be a part of the conflict even it will respect its contracts of a weapon supplier.
ReplyDeleteRussia is using China as a balance of power with US. It is just temporary.
