As discussed before, we have long running threads on both the UK/EU saga and America's years of woes but have little discussed some of the other troubling super powers within the developed world. Today we take a look at and discuss the growing dictatorial nation of China.
This thread launches as news comes out today that China has imposed sanctions on several UK politicans who have previously criticised China. Accusing them of spreading false information they ahve frozen the MPs assets in the country and barred them from entering the country. China is also more aggressively pursuing dominance of nearby locations.
The western nations are increasingly caught in a trap whereby they want to capitalise on the profit to be made from dealing with China whilst also struggling to balance that with the increasingly unacceptable behaviour of its leadership.
Do you see China continuing its dominance and growth in a relentless drive as the world's leader or do you foresee it becoming the new Russia and increasingly being at odds against the rest of the world causing it to lose its grip on power?
