    China has done a fuck ton to be where they are at and saying “do nothing, win” sometimes can feel like belittling all the hard work and sacrifice their people have done to get China where it is today. They are just humble about it and not actually looking at it like a race. They have a goal and they intend to reach it. That’s it. The only one that sees it as a race is the US, and all they are doing is trying to hold on to an old lead they got through cheating and sabotaging the competition. But that isn’t working on China, particularly because of all the work they put into building themselves up.

    Edit: a spelling error

      i guess the sense of it being easy is just that all of their natural products like improving quality of life for their citizens are things that are made by their vanguard party/socialism, and so in any other system citizens would have to rail incredibly hard against the movements/machination of their system as is to gain even an inch of improvement. nothing fundamental has had to change in china or its governance since the revolution to achieve any of this, and that’s incomprehensible to near anyone outside of it in a capitalist hellhole
