  1.  @bobbobbinson1841  Yeah no. The western world has done exceptionally well at celebrating and promoting foreigners and the foreign culture. China on the other hand does not. It is infamous for its denial of services to foreigners and it's own non-Han ethnic groups just look at the current situation for the Uyghurs, and the Manchus in the past. It only allows 3 foreign films a year to be seen in its entirety for god sake. No matter how long you reside in the country even if you marry a Chinese citizen if you are foreign you will never have the ability to gain social standing. You cannot be apart in their government, you can't run for mayor, you can't be a police officer, you can't have your religious practices be respected, you are openly discouraged from using your native language, and you cannot serve in their military meanwhile you can do all of this and more in the US. You will also never gain citizenship they only have Jus Sanguinis not Jus Soli. Unlike in the United States where once born on US soil you are automatically a citizen regardless of the status of your parents. And the application of Jus Sanguinis is very restricted to racial discrimination. If you do not look Chinese even though you had a Chinese parent you are not a Chinese citizen. An example is if a Black individual married a Chinese individual and their child had been born with black skin, nope you are denied citizenship of the Chinese nation. I can list more than just this but if you don't get it now that the West is actually promoting world cultures while the Chinese government is doing the opposite then no amount of words I will write us going to convince you.

  4. I think that the next war will be over the North and South pole as multiple nations will try to stake their claims, and since there is no indigenous people in the South pole there is no "moral argument" of stealing land. So everyone will be using as much of their military power to protect their own and contest other claims
