That is impressively high end trolling, really stellar quality.
And it shows how ridiculously one-sided dictatorships act.

truly a top shelf troll
A masterclass even.. ;)
I imagine that is probably somewhere in the cards.
One thing about Xi though, is he seems like a very patient man. I wonder if he isn't just waiting for some sort of convenient Russian political collapse and fracturing of their state.
The CCP plans to me seem to be the longest game ever played. It wouldn't surprise me if their plans for world domination were centuries long by design.

Look back a few decades and see what their previous policies were to be dissuaded of that idea. In the mid 50s the leader of China (Mao Zedong) lead a purge targeting the fields of education, science, literature and art, and medicine, where intellectuals were concentrated. Execution and imprisonment were what those groups faced.
In 1958 Mao ordered the killing of all sparrows to fight famine because he thought they ate too much grain in fields. The war on sparrows was successful in wiping out most of them, and then diseases started spreading because the sparrows weren't there to eat the insects spreading disease.
China, like most nations, is just lurching sometimes forward, sometimes backwards as ideas and global conditions shift from favorable to unfavorable and back again.

The last "centuries long" consistent leadership in China ending in 1911 with the end of the Qing Dynasty. Since thing its been wildly different leaderships (a couple of revolutions) with different goals. The last ~25 years or so looks very different than the previous direction of historically.
If they wait long enough, most of the PLA will be over 50 years old
Never stop an enemy, when they make a mistake.
Egg them on, if they think you are a friend.
Fully disagree. Xi is sacrificing the (economic ) wellbeing of his citizens at the altar of stricter repressive policies on its own population, and international power games. Corruption is running rampant there’s a massive real estate bubble, the population is aging quicker than in the west and I don’t think he has the ability to fix these issues, because he takes growth for granted.
No one would stop China if they did it. Not even russians.
Go on China. Do it!
