  1. All of this is aspirational and while it's good to aspire, set goals and make plans, turning them into reality is quite something else. What is not accounted for here is just how China intends to pay for all of this. China gained most of its wealth by turning itself into the world's factory. Exploiting western shortsightedness and greed worked wonders for China but that only works for a while and there's every indication that the trend is starting to turn. Add in the facts that China is no longer the ultra cheap place to do business it once was, that they still haven't mastered the art of manufacturing high value products, that their game plan is now laid bare for all to see, that their economy has plateaued, their demography is in crisis and their debt situation is a looming disaster and you have what is certain to be a very bad period on the horizon for China. With the way things are headed for them, they'll do very well to maintain what they have, never mind dreaming about world domination. And that's not even accounting for the fact that the US, UK, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Vietnam, India, Indonesia and others are not simply going to sit around with their thumbs up their butts just watching all this happen. They're going to respond and do so in a massive way.
