China is going to be the biggest economy in the world by the 2020s and many experts predict that their economy will be atleast double the size of the US economy by the 2030s. China is also now focusing on becoming an innovation nation, Investing hundreds of billions of dollars in educational and scientific institutions. Its clear that the west has become complacent and weak, and China is now emerging as a superpower. My advice to those who want to be prepared for what the future might bring, learn Mandarin. You wont regret it.

Im not Chinese, we can appreciate a countries progress without being self promoting shills. And theyve been saying that for a decade now, there wont be a housing crash because the housing market is regulated by the government.

No. Do not learn mandarin. The chinese fucking hate westerners and would 100 times rather do business with a bilingual asian than a bilingual white. They also are shady as fuck, will try to cheat caucasians on any single thing they can because you're a gwai lo and them barely even respect their own kin so imagine someone from a race they dim inferior.
Just learn Russian like I did - My time in Moscow was fucking amazing because Russians are delighted when they see a foreigner who speaks their language. So long as you don't act like an obnoxious moron and make an actual linguistic effort, they instantly become friendly, put you in high regards and offer you spontaneous and sincere smiles because they appreciate the attention you offer to their culture and country.

This meme needs to die.
China is facing a change in worker-to-retiree demographic change unprecedented in history.
The only way China can mitigate such change is through massively increased immigration. China, however, happens to be one of the most homogenous and resistant to culture change societies in the world.
So what happens when the CPC opens borders to allow for greater immigration? Intense social instability; much like the EU and Middle East now.
What does social instability mean for China? The end of the CPC.
So you see the Chinese governennt is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Economic instability and stagnation, or social and political instability.
There will be no threat to American hegemony for a very long time. Countries such as India, Indonesia and possibly Brazil could become strong IF they improve their corruption and inefficiencies, but that is a big if.
Latin America could become a successful regional bloc, much like the EU. Spanish will probably be a good language to learn. So too Arabic because Arabic is common to all Islamoc countries, which will cover not just the Middle East but also the Africas.
>>80353256

The Chinese use ideograms because spoken Chinese is a bunch of mutually unintelligible dialects. By communicating in ideograms a person on one side of China can read a letter from someone on the other side, even if they wouldn't have understood the message if they had instead met face to face and spoken. It's actually a brilliant system for their situation and very spatially economical although elaborate and difficult to learn.

Japan was predicted to own the entire world, but that didn't work out well for them either.
Plans are already in place to sabotage the Chinese economy, and so far we've seen some success; however, whatever happens, they will not be able to assert hegemony over a globalized world, because we are teetering away from globalism into an era of chaos unlike anything we've seen in the past 70 years. It is very likely that alliances will radically shift in the decade to come, and new problems will emerge.
China is going to lose out on a lot of business, and they're going to have some serious trouble in their beloved Africa if the situation with the Caliphate continues to get out of control -- which it likely will.

Yeah, no. China surpassing the US is one thing. China will never surpass the entirity of the Anglosphere. Even if it did Norwegians aren't exactly going to start learning Mandarin so they can converse with Fijians, or Burmese to converse with Kenyans, or Mexicans to converse with Germans, Indians with Thais, Afrikaners with Russians etc.
Mandarin is a regional language, nothing more. Even if China were miraculously to become significantly more powerful than the entire Anglo-Saxon world that would not change the fact that English is established as the world's lingua franca. Nor would it change the fact that while English is comparatively easy to learn for the billion+ speakers of other Indo-European languages Mandarin is a fucking nightmare to learn for speakers of ANY other language. Even native Mandarin speakers struggle with their demented hieroglyphic writing system.

I think a certain segment of the population will get extremely rich and flee to a third country, where they'll find it harder to make a living corruptly and their wealth will decline over time.
The country itself will revert back to the status quo when the lust for cheap goods abates in favor of protectionism. That seems to be what's happening at the moment, as we figure out that not having work for our less intelligent citizens is a recipe for social chaos.

Yeah that seems to be happening already on a pretty large scale - see the Chinese colonization of the West Coast of North America. Also plenty of Chinese moving into London, all over Australia and New Zealand.
If we're going to have open borders I'll happily take them desu. I find it amazing that the UK - having opened it's borders to millions of Afro Carribeans and Muslims - suddenly decided to have a panic over the prospect of Hong Kongers immigrating en masse in the years leading to the handover and then decided to clamp down. Fucking illiterate Bangladeshi tribesmen were ok but highly educated and civilized Cantonese weren't, apparently.

Indonesia is fucked by being Muslim and anyone who is halfway competent in business or politics over there is pretty much guaranteed to be Chinese or at least part-Chinese. India is fucked by 'democracy' - a continent sized country with about 1.5 billion people who speak different languages, are of different races, and keep to different religions and frequently hate each other.

English is obviously the best language. English is the first global lingua franca. English is the language of the future. The English language has the most books, the most films, the most songs, the most science publications, arguably the most speakers (ahead of even Mandarin if people who know only a few words of English are counted), it is the official language of both the sea (i.e. Seaspeak) and the sky (i.e. Airspeak) and it will someday become humanity's universal language of space (de jure or otherwise). English was also the first language spoken by humans on another world besides Earth (i.e. the Moon). Arabic, French, Russian, Spanish and Mandarin cannot compete with the linguistic leadership of English.

>>80352197
China will surpass US but Mandarin won't become the standard language because it's not pragmatic to write. China doesn't really suffers from it because every local language is written in the same form as Mandarin (a symbol means one thing, two languages pronounce it differently). But the world can't adapt to it. Needs at least two generations where chinese is the dominant language of the elite and/or most of communication means.

Probably this. The achilles heel of the chinese is they are frankly useless at co-operating with one another. It's all about me and mine with no broader concept of 'society' at play. Any military conflict occurs and you'll find some enterprising souls have sold the firing pins on the rifles for a quick buck and the ships are actually made of bits of wood painted to look like steel.
All we are really witnessing here is an entire country put to work to make cheap goods for greedy europeans and a select few of those sweat shop managers bailing on the 'future superpower' to vancouver or sydney as fast as their bank accounts can be transferred offshore.

It succeeds and with its unsustainablr model collapses killing 80% of the human population with the rest being set back into a second dark age
If you see how hard it is for even large countries today to agree on things imagine keeping the entire world in line under one government? it would be impossible without extreme Orwell like totalitarianism and as the history of civilizations suggest the more brutal the ruler the faster and more devastating the fall is
A globalized state would live at the very most for 100 years before it collapsed. A society ruled entirely by force is unsustainable.

This kind of growth does not come without cooperation and standards. The fact is, the vast majority of Chinese people do good business but you only really hear about the bad ones. Because when business is good there's no need to be vocal about it.

So what? Not a lot of compelling evidence that they can co-operate, beyond a distribution chain of food and the co-operation necessary to put cocks in vaginas en masse.
Being a giant factory for rich countries is just the evolution of selling tea to the british. It's not manifest destiny or clever planning by a driven group, it's just being used.

They simply integrate other races in the region. Modern Han Chinese are a group of diverse people.
>>80357462
You're making sense on most things mentioned, except the typing part. Typing in Mandarin is insanely convenient.
我是美国人= Wo Shi MeiGuoRen. Just typing WSMG(R) completes the word, etc etc. Might depend on the IME. I'm not sure typing in English is more efficient as you say.
>>80357891
I honestly don't know what you expect from China. Do you want them to aggressively expand and take land for themselves? To make plans to secure the future and safety of their nation?
Australians who support China seem to be to be the worst form of traitors. Summary execution is almost too good for them. They should be tortured to death.

I honestly expect China to fulfill a need for cheap goods for a period and then to contract when protectionism kicks in in countries like the US. That's inevitable, in the same way that the opium wars were inevitable.

This anecdote is valuable.
Chinese is an ugly language, (despite what sino-Nationalists say) China is an ugly country with shit culture and an emotionally questionable population. 'Death worship' SOON.

How is that any different from autofill in English?
So what is the best language to learn right now?
>>80358399
Is there enough keys on a keyboard to 'simply type' thousands of Chinese characters?
>>80358766
I don't know; haven't used auto-fill. I guess you're implying it isn't that much different from how I described Chinese input. Still, I haven't used auto-full for English so I can't give any sure answer.
>>80358902
As far as I know, you type the pinyin and the characters will come up. Sometimes you have to select the right character but it works alright.
>>80358231
Tens of millions of people starved because Mao encouraged breeding but it was mostly the drought that did the killing. Maybe you should read up on Chinese history.
>>80358902
I think pinyin is the most popular input method. It's just a romanization system for Chinese.

>>80359301
They use numbers to indicate tones in pinyin.
For example Zho1ngwe2n, but as for as I know that's only used so programs can replace them with the actual tones. Maybe it's different in other systems like Wade-Giles. I don't know.
I don't know about desert gutterals either.
>>80355710
Russian is fucking shit. I do not recommend it
>>80358399
You're right about Chinese being just as or more convenient to type, but I see another wall for Mandarin's journey to becoming the lingua franca: adoption, and the Chinese themselves.
>>80359215
New keywords every x year to make the language less complex!
>>80358696
Except the Chinese don't just produce cheap goods now. High end phones, medical devices, construction machines... things necessary in all walks of life are produced in China these days.
And it's not a one way street either, China can't get enough of American vehicles and premium electronic devices.

Absolutely false.
>>80359624
I take the same view as you, regarding Chinese (Mandarin) becoming the world's lingua franca.
It could become much more popular in the west if it became fully romanized, however. That I actually believe.
>>80360131
Most people can't deal with the tones. It's too foreign to become a lingua franca.
>>80359617
All the languages in European continent are shit. With genders and words changing according to cases. But I learn Russian because I have to, it is useful in Eastern Europe too so yeah not a loss learning it.

Hong Kong is a nicer place than Mainland China, and Cantonese is way more more pretty than Mandarin (a remarkably ugly language).
Cantonese song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O2H2iYEyAI
>>80360660
Cantonese sounds nicer for a song because it has 7 intonations while Mandarin only has 4. In my opinion for day to day conversation and writings Chinese is still better than Cantonese.
Their gov debt is going to cause trouble soon, and they have too many workers.
Some Chink engineers are good, but the world won't pay western prices for their shit, so your average chink worker is still fucked.

Cantonese will be exterminated with the other minority languages at the rate they're trying to outlaw and shut down local regional stations. Guangzhou has been invaded by Mandarin speakers and Africans and they outnumber the native speakers.
This is all while Xi can't wait for an excuse to enforce old school communist policing on Hong Kong by having a good chunk of the youth disappear and show up in apology videos before being found dead in a traffic accident somewhere in rural China where they spill out of a truck as dead medical cadavers.
Fuck it feels good to be born as an American and not fucked over by being born in China.

Cantonese is best because HK is civilized.
>>80360901
>Cantonese sounds nicer for a song because it has 7 intonations while Mandarin only has 4
It's probably the difference in tones that make it sound nicer.
Cantonese does not have the 3rd and 4th Mandarin tones (qù and rù?) which sound quite crude.
>>80361741
RIP Canton.

Ending the one child policy has done jack shit to mitigate china's demographic woes in the near or long term future. You can't make a generation appear out of thin fucking air. Chinese adults can't support an ever aging population AND have more children. Also the two-child policy does't bring the population anywhere near demographic stability let alone replacement rate because A. not everyone has kid's, and those who do don't always have two B. the gender imbalance caused by the one-child policy makes it so a lot of men have no chance to marry and have children at all.

rome still exists checkmate
Historically the power competing with the superpower never becomes the superpower. They actually end up wearing each other out for a thrird power to take over.Your chart makes this evident for Germany and Japan never became the top power.
Let's start with the Romans. The number two at the time was Persia. They ended up wearing each other out that the Arabs were able to come in and sucker punch them both. Ottomans and Habsburgs, same thing, they wore each other down to the point where by the 17th century both Spain/Austria and the Ottomans were on the decline leaving Britain to take over. Britain and Germany. World War I finished them both leaving the road clear for the Americans. And finally we had America and the Soviets (surprised they're not on OP's list), the Soviets never did manage to defeat the Americans and the Americans ended up in decline through defeating the Soviets thus leaving the way open for China.
So yes China will be superpower.

Just show him the stats on Singapore's highly effective program for reducing birthrates. Now Singapore is one of the most cucked countries in terms of relying on foreign laborers and their own aren't even hirable due to their military system wherein native Singaporeans must serve and thus have to leave work. Their birthrate is down the shitter and no matter how much they try they can't get it back up.
That's without their entire biosphere imploding wherein the air is unbreathable, the water is undrinkable and the food is carcinogenic.

Nope. They screened the foreign workers. They only let skilled workers have PR there. It is the right kind of immigration where they got the elites from other countries (you can say they cucked other countries by causing brain drain there), unlike Europe who let human garbage into their country.

How many nukes do you think china has at this point? I'm sure they're not telling the world exactly how many they've been manufacturing. They probably have almost as many as us at this point, and I'm sure they're much newer.

Keep up your hard work though guailou
I'm a bit of a Sinoboo but I'm not sure whether or not I should attempt to learn Chinese. By all accounts that shit is bonkers hard. I don't know if I want to study an hour every day for the next ten years just to attain a reasonable proficiency.
Still, I can't wait for China to take over. You people are so fucking drunk on white nationalism that you'll support any 'white' power no matter who toxic they are. Too bad for us though, that the US is not a white country, but a Jewish one. The ruling class of the USA are the Jews (Jews replaced WASPs in the US mid-20th century). And those Jews promote a poisonous anti-white ideology that is killing the white race.
To put it simply: why is Europe taking in millions of shitskins? Because of the poisonous ideology coming out of American universities and media (institutions dominated by you-know-who). Why do American institutions hold sway over European politics? Because America is the hegemon.
So we see that the politics of lesser players like European countries and Australia are shaped by the ideology promoted by hegemonic powers.
Now tell me, which ideology is going to be better for whites? Judeo-Progressivism or the redpilled pragmatic conservatism of China (Communist in name only)? It's pretty fucking obvious to anyone with a clue.
Hail China, to save the white race.
Not a chink btw.
