What went so horribly wrong?

Yeah, no shit they won't. Who the fuck wants to be world police over a bunch of ingrates?

They've already taken over as the largest economy. In 3 years the gap will be more noticible.

CHINA

WILL

GROW

LARGER

Its really fucking big and most of the interesting bits are all on the eastern coastal parts. Often times the outer territories are shaded red in video games or wikipedia maps but the Imperial control over these areas was nominal at best. Technology just didnt exist for most of history where they could have feasibly controlled more than this.

It's hard to think of a nation that has done more for another nation than the US has for China.

The rapid development wouldn't have been possible without the US making it easy for companies to import from China or massive foreign investment in China.

The US used to be interested in dominating China for their Pacific ambition, but seemed to not be able to challenge European influences there. They should have been more aggressive back then, so that stability in the Pacific could be achieved way earlier than in real history.

(Or maybe not. It could have been a disaster like Napoleonic France to continental Europe...)

Short answer ? The fall of the Song dynasty.

but china did. Those people were taking about gdp ppp, which china overtook the usa in 2015.

Tiny Chink dick mean that chinaman very worried about size of peepee not making girl feel good.

Chink try to act tough to compensate for small peepee. Not work gud, chinaman not tough. Instead, act like jew to each other. But jews not jew each other, because jew smart. So China society shit.

Things are actually going pretty well. China has made amazing progress over the past few decades and should surpass the US as the world's largest economy in about 10 years unless something goes horribly wrong. From there it's only a matter of time before they translate that into military power, and then we'll have a bipolar world order again.

>They've already taken over as the largest economy.

No they haven't. You're looking at the PPP measurements, I assume?
Purchasing Power Parity doesn't measure the size of the economy, it's a useful tool for measuring living standards and buying power of individual citizens but is irrelevant in terms of comparing different national economies by size due to differences in currency and its reliance on a select set of prices of consumer goods. If you're comparing national economies you need to use nominal, and by that standard the United States ($18 trillion) still dwarfs China ($11 trillion).

People have also been saying China will collapse "next year" for literally decades. All the talk about any major power collapsing suddenly and instantaneously is just bullshit hyperbole.

They have been going downhill since the Qing dynasty.

In my opinion, size. China is so fucking big and full of people that it's own domestic economy is basically all it needs, it can afford not to care about the outside world.

As a result, when the Bongs came calling in the 1700s and 1800s, the Chinese didn't recognise that these barbarians might actually constitute a huge fucking threat to their way of life, they just told the stupid 老外 that they don't understand China and they should fuck off, same as now.

As a result, when the Brits realised their trade deficit was going to fuck their economy, they rebalanced it, first with opium, then by wrecking the place until the Qing gave in.

If the Chinese had paid some attention to the outside world, and realised how much further ahead Europe were (or rather, if they had done something about it), they'd have been able to use their ability to scale to their advantage, and built a navy that could take a giant shit on the Royal Navy.

They then blamed everyone but themselves for the mess they were in, and after the war they sperged out and the commies beat the inept, US backed KMT, and proceeded to burn down all the nice things in China (Chinese NEVER do things individually, only in groups. Its a huge strength when they have good leadership, like now, but it also makes shit like the Cultural Revolution spread like wildfire, with no one thinking for themselves)

Tldr, they blame le big ebil foreigner for all their woes, but it would never have happened if they just paid some attention to the outside world

Map is missing Mongolia, which is claimed by Taiwan, and the South China Sea, claimed by both Chinas.

This. Motherfucker fucked Republican China to shit

They've been struggling to recover ever since Bruce Lee's relative Chin massacred 1.2 billion commies back in 1997.

the communists were not on the ropes when the japanese invaded

The Ming were happy to trade with Europeans, the Qing shut it all down for decades and then restricted it to Canton.

Can't expect horseniggers to understand trade.

#notallhorseniggers

It's already happened in GDP and supercomputers numbers. But I always like people such as you, you can give China more advantages and times to develop.

I'd say since the ming suddenly became isolationists, which slowed technological development.
Same goes for the qing dynasty.

Isn't there a concern for China's economy forming a bubble and bursting for the last few years? And the growing concern of the CCP becoming more oppressive as quality of life increases and people wanting more rights?

It must be easy as fuck to do well in China if you have leadership skills and an independent will.

IS WHOLE AGAIN

>Isn't there a concern for China's economy forming a bubble and bursting for the last few years?
It's just a meme repeated by insecure westerners. Economies don't burst they just slow down, every supposed economic burst in history has been completely overblown before and after, even the great depression was only a small set back for the USA in historiographical terms.

>And the growing concern of the CCP becoming more oppressive as quality of life increases and people wanting more rights?
People want less rights as quality of life increases, and more when its worse, if people are living good lives then they only complain about inane shit like muh 5000 genders.

China lost its culture to the revolution.
