I mean like:

  • Chinese (Edit: Mandarin Chinese) will become the lingua franca of the world
  • The Internation Aviation Language will (probably) become Chinese (replacing Aviation English)
  • Lunar New year becomes a popular holiday (like Chrismas is currently popular worldwide)
  • The Internet will use mostly Chinese Chracter
  • And instead of 26 Latin based characters, you’ll have to learn thousands of characters, imagine that 😅 (or just use a translator tool 🤷‍♂️)
  • There would be a China version of Hollywood, taking over the original Hollywood
  • Fengshui becomes a thing that the world starts to care about
  • UN Headquarters now located in Shanghai (I’m guessing this is the most “international” city in China, right?)
  • Boeing is dead, some Chinese airplane manufacturer now dominates, competing with Airbus.
  • Baidu is default search engine (now with less censorship due to democrarization)
  • Harmony OS (Huawei’s Android fork) become the new “Apple”, iPhone is now insignificant, ranking below Motorola in terms of market share.
  • Either Windows get brought by some Chinese Bussiness person, or there China makes a Linux distribution that starts off as Open Source with some proprietary components (like how Android is), then eventually becoming Closed Source once they overtake Windows. Lets call it PandaOS (I’m not creative with names 'mmkay)
  • etc…

Sounds like an interesting world 🤔

What do you think?

    I don’t care which country is the global super power as long as it adhere to the liberal world order and all that comes with it.
    I want to leave in peace, enjoy my human rights and not have to worry about other countries using arms to push their will.

    But also: a lot of those points have nothing to do with who the global super power is

      A lot of people in the global south might say they don’t want it to adhere to the “liberal world order”

      You’re speaking from a position of privilege, and suggesting that you should keep your privilege

        I don’t care. The question was if I was okay with China as the super power and my answer is that it don’t matter as long as it adheres to the liberal world order.

        Get off your high horse.

      I mean, Americanization of the world was helped by the fact that US became a global superpower.
