China has not really built up its military forces in proportional to its GDP growth. This was done to not “piss off” the west and rock the boat. More fake cities are not going to do the trick anymore. I think China has no choice but to build up their military simply to help GDP. That will in turn start the US in a military of our own. The USA will have to close off the open access to our markets ending forever the silly era of “free trade”, and that will trigger a new cold war with a hot potential.

Given all these developments, where do you see the Chinese economy in 10 years?
