Brian Berletic (The New Atlas channel) - an American former Marine tech currently living in Thailand and working as an industrial engineer - often hosts a couple of people who live in China, and one thing they keep saying is that China doesn't want to take over the world, they just want to make money.

Colonel Douglas MacGreggor has said the Chinese aren't communists, they're money grubbers.

China's dealings with other nations, including Russia and the USA, are boiled down to 'whats in it for us?' (materially). They don't want to force other nations into any particular deal bc that risks blowback, hence their emphasis on 'win-win' arrangements. OTOH it doesn't bother them if they 'win' more than you do! At the risk of sounding anti-Semitic, a comment I've heard that sums up the Chinese (with their ethnocentrism and 'money-grubbing') - is that Chinese are 'the Jews of the east'.

They're risk averse, and focused both on raising the material standard of living AND finding jobs for young men (who become disruptive if not kept busy) as their surest way to STAY IN POWER. OTOH China isn't blessed with all of the resources it needs for a self-sufficient economy, so they decided to become an exporting nation as the quickest was to prosperity and jobs.

HOWEVER, that necessarily means that they will need some international muscle to enforce the deals they've made with other trading partners (what happens if Mexico reneges on a deal to sell China the total output of a copper mine?) or someone -like the USA- interdicts their trade routes?

Also, the USA sees China as a significant competitor for world resources. USA elite may dress it up as being about Taiwan and freedom, but that's just a rationalization for the gullible. The USA would like to destroy China to rid itself of a competitor.

IMHO China's greatest challenge is to transition from an export economy to a balanced economy, and they aren't handling that transition well, if at all. They tried, a couple of decades ago, to improve their internal market by pumping up the money supply, but all that did was create speculstion booms in everything from wheat to aluminum to real estate to iron to zinc to infrastructure.

Belt and Road is just an attempt to replace the USA and EU markets with other markets (Central Asia, Africa etc). For their own security and peace of mind, without all the drama and fuss that transnationalism brings, they need to find a way to whittle down their reliance on exports while still finding jobs for their young male population. China has a TON of environmental disasters- maybe they should set some of those workers to cleaning up the mess they made while industrializing. Just my $0.02.
