Wrong, look at China's allies and you'll see lists of failed country, a type of country that China could readily and happily exploit.
Some of the countries that are USA include some right hellholes. Take large parts of narco-states in Central America that were often ruled by US supported dictators. These countrries have endemic corruption, drug economies and murder rates that would make Hannibal Lecter blush.

@beijingwalker This is the way to address a stabilizing population. USA and UK just import third world labour to drive their taxis, trucks and cleaners. If you land at Heathrow Airport all the cleaners are Indians and most of the taxi drivers are Pakistani's.

Those who croak on about "greying population" think only the West can import gastarbeiter. My local hospital is full of imported Filipino/Indonesian nurses and porters.


China can similiarly import labour from the arc around it's south and east although I would exclude Pakistani's because of the danger they will carry the religious virus which can be more deadly than coronavirus.

yet, they prosper. look at Mexico, it has +$1T GDP,it has industries coming from the US notably automobiles and as for the narcos, the US sent their DEA trying to defeat the narcos and thereby help these countries .

Seriously what has China contribute to the security and prosperity of it's so called "allies". Name me one, just one successful Chinese alies.

note: Beijingwalker has expressed that there's no such thing as Chinese allies. So you might be in a one way love relationship here.

here's some point :

1. the best and the brightest will go to the US, leaving low paying one migrating to China
2. China is not the most welcoming countries for people with non-Han blood

it's a lame joke if our Pak friends still believe CN is their "iron bro". Despite a long standing dispute between VN-CN, most of CN investors still flee to VN instead of Pak.

RIch Chinese only care abt Money, not friends.

Remind me how long has USA been a superpower for? The Chinese are still within living memory of famines. You can't compare a century of unbridled influence to a newcomer.

I normally use 'love' for the opposite sex and that might hold some water if @beijingwalker was a female, attractive and had a thing for older guys. And since when did this member become representative of China?

USA in the period when it was a rising power or at least till 1950s was shamelessly 'white European only' preferance country. In my liftime USA had 10% of it's Negro population living in segragated, apartheid condition. The image you are harping on about is of very recent construct.

The US only become a relative economic juggernaut right after WW2, basically while others are destroyed and broke, the US economy skyrocketed, it did not take them long to bring Europe and Japan back on its own foot. Think about the Marshall plan.

in just a short span after the war, former enemies like Germany and Japan would later flood the US market with their goods. Something that China can't seem to emulate with its so called allies.

I mean what would you expect from this predatory practice ??

it doesn't matter, while China wait for it's citizens to be ready to accept foreigners, those foreign talents will go to the US.

nobody is waiting for anyone to be ready.

in a time of great power competition, you would not want to be left behind.

That is not predatory. That is harsh economic reality. Purely from economic POV nobody would even invest one dime in Gwadar. Only the Chinese came along to make this a reality. They can have 99% of nothing because thus far and for at least another decade the returns are going to be negligble. It will take off after decades of sustained investment and risk taking.

From what I see they get 100 more grubby, drug infested Latinos or gangbanger Haitians. Lot of price to be paid for future political instability as we saw recently. Expect MAGA boys to grow and bite back going forward.

that is what is called exploitation, in fact being "iron brother" doesn't helps much if they treat you like this.

Basically the Chinese offer you a loan (which you could not pay anyway), uses their own workers instead of Pakistanis (who themselves are full of jobless young fella) and on top of that they'll have 95% of those incomes from Gwadar instead of your country.

as usual China win-win (wins twice).

you seems to be in a mood to look down upon Latinos , mind to remind you, that you too are economic migrants in the UK.

fellow economic migrants don't look down upon economic migrants.

anyway it's not only Latinos who come to the states, people from China, Pakistan and India too come to the states, and frankly contribute to the economy.

US democracy is a mess, because it is designed to be a mess.

on the other hand autocratic countries tend to collapse faster than democracies.

See what happened to Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, Soviet Union ????

Actually Pakistan was an ally of US for the most part of her history, what did US help Pakistan other than bringing war and chao there?

This is clear cut exploitation

You could read it from the OP post

For money, they all make a fraction of what Chinese workers make and they work long hours. 12-14 working hours a day, factory bosses like to hire them casuse they are hardworking and never complain, they are very content with the working condition and the money which are already several times better than what they can get in Myamar.

Actually instead of exploiting Pakistan, China should help this country by creating jobs, moving some industries such as automobile manufacturing.
If China could create an economically powerful Pakistan of at least $1T GDP, that would be great for China. China will add an ally of value.

the same way the AUKUS/QUAD is an ally of value to the US.

All bosses around the world like to hire such people, do you know how many illegal immigrants working in US sweatshops and get meager chicken feed? don't try to make it sound that only China does it.

What US brought to Pakistan? for the most part of Pakistan's history, US was the single major " ally", an ally Pakistan rued her day to have trusted.
