Worse than colonialism? You are putting the threat into very mild category but in truth you have no idea how dangerous it is.. This label was just the tip of the iceberg and 95% of the iceberg remains under water and out of sight but let me shade some light on it for you..
The Chinese uprising is just history repeating itself nothing more or less.... China is 2.0 Mongol empire hence they are there distant cousins in the human geneology tree perhaps less warrior like than the Mongols but equally vicious that part they are the same and inherit the same. Once China exits it's borders they will commit massacre's unknown to humanity and at an alarming rate of bloodsheed and irrelevant most of the time just for the sake of killing in the same vein as the mongols. The World has never seen anything like the Mongols before them and after them but China could change all of that and bring back the great horror of the 12th century at much greater scale..
China in my honest opinion is the greatest human tragedy waiting to happen in human history and once it happens the world will be in absolutely horrific shock.
Majority of the Americans see them as world hegemony competition wrongfully but they might be sitting in front of something entirely different which is the greatest tragedy waiting to happen and I am afraid the US is not capable of stopping them militarily anywhere and NATO itself might not be able to do that which is also extremely doubtful as they are accelerating at rapid pace in their military growth development which is even more scary and horrific..
They are very pragmatic so once they conquer Asia and Europe they will bite into the local population numbers systemtically until they have left tiny small minority enough that they can control
Too much China-phobia here.
Today's world is not 1200 AD. The kind of weapons people have are far more lethal and prevents military invasions of powerful nations.
Just a few nuclear bombs on China would collapse it. And even tiny Pakistan is capable of doing that. So nations militarily approaching another nation has less chance and probability.
That's why there are no more famines, world wars, massive kingdoms capturing another land and committing genocide.
So no Mongol 2.0 won't come.
Secondly, China is 1.4 billion. Rest of the world is 6.4
6.4 >>> 1.4, even if you account for the fact that failed states like North Korea and Pakistan are in china's team.
Even today, USA is far stronger militarily than China. It has more aircraft carriers, bigger economy, better quality weapons, more allies, better navy. I don't see China risking an attack on US. let alone NATO. Not in another 50 years.
