Don't forget the part about how China has been planning for an isolationist America to push its own territorial ambitions. This is not going to be merely hell in the Baltics, a world war is taking shape as the long peace crumbles.
I wouldn't exactly describe the last decades as 'peace', but ok...
Peaceful enough that apparently people in industrial nations forgot how bad war really is if they elect war mongers like Trump as leaders.
It's a term people have used to describe the state of affairs since the last hot war between major powers.
You will if a war starts like the one /u/gradually_adjusting is talking about
i don't blame China for that though, i haven't seen anything China's done to advance american isolationism, just seems like they had some measure of foresight
China surpassed Russia in internet influence shenanigans years ago.
People just became somewhat aware of Russia's activities because of "Russiagate" and then when Russia invaded Ukraine we started seeing the shilling for Russia.
China saw the success of Russia's operations and stepped up their activities. Also they have TikTok which is a direct line to young people in the West to promote discontent.
young people should probably be discontented thh
They also dont need to go to war to benefit. China as a whole is doing well moving into the future.
