I always think it's better to go back to the original source material, so here's the white paper mentioned: http://english.gov.cn/archive/white_paper/2019/07/24/content...

The basic message seems to be:

• As China and other countries develop, the world is shifting from unipolar model to a multipolar one.

• The US is doubling down on unipolarity.

• China is doubling down on multipolarity.

Absolutely not. China is doubling down on becoming the unipolarity. No where do they go that they do not perform the same sausage tactics as the Soviets.

The question becomes, like in all non capitalistic environments, can they succeed before their debts get to them.
