    Chinese here. And I find this video pretty spot on.

    There's been a dedicated term called 川建国 for Mr. Trump. It's basically means Trump the (Chinese) Empire Builder. The former president had a similar name 奥观海, Obama the Listener across the (Pacific) Ocean.

    Tactics described on the video had an online reputation of Strategic Fooyou Agency

    For my personal perspective, I am also pessimistic about the dystopian future. But the video got one thing very wrong IMO. Mao, cultural revolution and Communism, which is the weakest foundation of China's totalitarian ideology. If we take a more neutral approach towards Communism, leftists, worker's rights, unions, etc maybe there is still a chance that the world can be saved.

    While China is having a shopping spree in Euroasia and Africa, foreign investment are getting more welcomed in China, BMW bought its JV shares to a majority, Tesla built its GF3 in Shanghai as WFOE, etc.

    AMA.

    An hour long brain4breakfast style video detailing the history of China, how and why China went from being the uncontested global superpower via trade and manufacturing for centuries to how it was outdone by Western powers in the 1800s which then reduced china to it's lowest state ever to how China is using trade and manufacturing to achieve that global dominance again and how little the west is doing to stop it.
