China: I will do nothing and the world will fall to its knees before me.

They're doing quite a bit- just not much dick waving nonsense.

I meant on a geopolitics level. China really doesn't play the geopolitics games. They pretty much just do what they think is right for the nation (right or wrong) and tells everyone else to take care of their own shit. Today, this plan of doing nothing looks to be very successful.

*Edit: Obviously internally they're doing a shit ton of stuff for their nation and their people. But externally, not so much.

The whole reason why they are winning is precisely because they are not trying to get other countries to bow before them.

Or really paying attention to other nations as well. In fairness, they literally said that's what they plan to do. Which lead people to say China only cares about China. Which is true. The question becomes why SHOULD China care about the internal politics of other nations?
