All China has to do is to sit back and watch the West destroy itself. The West’s warmongering globalism has the entire unaligned world in flight for safety. The safety net is BRIChinaS. The West has also forced the realignment of the Russia China relationship. The US has its proxy in the $150B woke, corrupt Uke quagmire. Thanks to NATO, China has its proxy, Russia. Incredibly, China’s proxy costs it nothing. China’s proxy furnishes unlimited natural resources at deeply discounted prices (thank you sanctions). China’s proxy has its existential threat completely bogged down in a new multi trillion dollar, generational cold war half a world away and it doesn’t cost the Chicoms a penny. Xi is sitting pretty internationally.
China is behind much of the destruction of the West. They have purchased many of the US ruling class. In China, the doctrine is known as "Capture the Elite".
You do not have to wage direct warfare, when you can bribe the ruling class of your enemy to do your biding.
China is the main winner in the Ukraine war. They watch their adversaries fight each other.
