    An article on what China's long term geopolitical goals are, and the reasoning that's used behind them.

    I'll have to quote this bit to ask a question though:

    The party’s leaders believe they have a narrow window of strategic opportunity to strengthen their rule and revise the international order in their favor—before China’s economy sours, before the population grows old, before other countries realize that the party is pursuing national rejuvenation at their expense, and before unanticipated events such as the coronavirus pandemic expose the vulnerabilities the party created in the race to surpass the United States and realize the China dream.

    I wonder why would this be case? Authoritarian dictatorships such as them and Russia seem really stable. I feel the only real danger of a dictatorship is grinding itself to a halt via corruption. Monarchies were already stable in the 18th century, so how could you go wrong with the Internet today is beyond me.
