China takes over the world leadership role abandoned by US

[tower9]

I think China would just be lucky to not be economically isolated and completely decoupled by the West after this crisis. It is lunacy to talk about China assuming some global leadership vacuum due to this crisis. Its image has suffered a massive blow that will take decades to recover from.

The world will tear itself up with or without China, always has always will. This only pushes China further into Russia who is already sanctioned by the West.

I heard -- on this forum since '09 -- that the world will be governed by China, Venezuela, and Russia.

Well, you cannot argue with the fact that China is certainly catching up in almost every sector. Don't mock or take this achievement lightly.

Global leadership is a trap. This is a Western conspiracy. They want China to take more responsibility for the world and repeat America's mistakes. Americans realized that global leadership did not benefit them and Trump successfully persuaded them that "America First". China should not repeat mistakes

That is wishful thinking on your part. The humans have witnessed pandemics before. Nations have not been singled out. Conspiracy theories aside, we still don't know the proper origins with certainty. It started somewhere, but how long it has been with us and the exact origins are unknown.

I believe that China is too big and too powerful to be ignored. It will be business as usual after a while. It will take considerable time before some level of normalcy returns.

We don't want to lead Africa, we just want to do business with Africa.
We don't want to lead the Middle East, we just want to do business with the Middle East.
We don't want to lead Latin America, we just want to do business with Latin America.
We think every country can take good care of them, the people of their own country.
If their government can't take care of their own people, their own people will overthrow their government.
Each country does not need others to lead it.

If US abandons it, China is not stupid either to pick it up. Whoever wants it please take it, China won't.

Translation - the World successfully resisted America's domination and control by force.
