China's internal system is very bothersome to the world. Their economic system, imperialistic ambitions and global nuclear proliferation are as a result of their "internal system of governance"
China's way of economy is definitely a bother to the world but politically does the world care whether China is a communist country or a monarcy? Does the world care what China does in Tibet or what ambitions China nurtures in regard to Taiwan?
As long as the policies of China by which the world is not directly/indirectly affected, it is willing to put up with China. Just as the world has put up with US and in the past with UK.
China's rise is detrimental to the world. If its relatively less so or more so is irrelevant. If you can prove that its not detrimental in absolute terms, forget about relative terms, than please do so else stop being an apologist.
You have created a axiom and want me to prove you wrong. The onus is on you to prove your 'axiom'. Let me repeat my question for your benefit: How is China's rise anymore detrimental to the world then the rise of any other superpower in the past?
BTW, asking whether someone who is a villian to us is a villian to the world does not make me its apologist...
If you actually give proper answer, then I more than willing to be the apologist of your view. I would love to believe that CCP ruled China is the biggest baddest country that the world must absolutely be in fear of if it ever succeeds in sitting on the throne.
No that was not my point. India's rise is a stellar example contradicting your claim.
India is no superpower, not even close. We are talking about rising superpowers not just nations. The difference is critical. Most nations can rise peacefully, but can superpowers rise peacefully?
1. Same beliefs, values and PoVs.
2. Convergence of interests largely due to Same beliefs, values and PoVs.
3. Antithetical beliefs, values. Temporary. Unsustainable.
4. No.
Thanx, saar. And you have just given an answer to your initial assessment that 'democracies are natural allies'. Values, POVs and belief systems are not based on political systems(though they do get affected by them). For instance: US and UK are natural allies. Same belief system, values and POVs. US and Pak are unnatural allies albiet a strategic ones. And both these alliances have endured for about 50odd years. But the critical point is that democracy or lack of it is not the factor here. A political system is never a factor in alliances. Therefore, India is not a natural partner of US based on democracy.
