What's the end game for China, and indeed the world? One dystopian preview is Ma Boyong's award winning short story "City of Silence", published as part of Ken Liu's Invisible Planets.

The end game seems to be moving more and more toward armed conflict between China and the US. I honestly don’t see both societies continuing their current trajectories without running headlong into each other. Perhaps it will just be another cold war and we’ll see who’s economic system blinks first.

That is the narrative they are trying to push. IMO it is more a case between the globalists and the non-globalists. Some groups of people want it to be an interconnected world with 1 society.

You mean armed conflict between some dick politicians in China and some dick politicians in the US in which everyone else but them will suffer.

History has taught us nothing.
