I wouldn’t fully put them in that category, personally. If modern Russia is WW2 Germany, China is the USSR. They’re only on their side. Definitely not on yours or my side, but they’re not on anyone else’s side either.

They are hunkering down and building capacity for 50+ years. That was literally what Mao and Deng planned for. Wait for the Taiwan invasion and China would come out as the real Axis Germany.

We've been waiting almost 80 years for that invasion. Still hasn't happened.

Russia has plenty of Territory taken from China in the 1850s. A weak Russia could be more tempting to take on than a strong Taiwan backed by US.

In 50+ years the Chinese economy is going to be demolished by an aging population. They’re bottlenecked by population difference and they’re fucked no matter what they do, even if they have the worlds most progressive immigration policy, no one wants to move there.

Silly westoid. Now that Xi has completed his glorious transformation to Mao 2.0, ... there will be ... but what about the all of the bad things the west has done, and they also have an ageing population! Thus it is safe to say that China will be fine and continue to prosper because hypocritical west and decadent liberal democracy does nothing for the real people.

Do you really do backflips every day, though?

As if CCP has done anything for the real people in the past decade, Xi destroyed the country from the inside

I'm getting the impression that some people might somehow have missed the ultra-extremely obvious sarcasm in my comment.

China still cares its economy. Russia clearly does not. North Korea never did.

Even if you put China, Russia, and Iran together, their combined GDP is still smaller than the GDP of the US alone.

By that logic Russia should have beaten Ukraine soundly.

Why? Are you completely ignoring all the aid Ukraine is getting to push back Russian aggression, short of foreign boots on the ground?

Nevermind. You don't seem like a logical thinker so I really don't care what you have to say. Just know that I think your conclusion sounds like a load of malarkey.
