Of course they are. I am a great admirer of the Chinese culture. I have never downplayed the achievements or the importance of the Chinese civilization.You are being overtly harsh on the Chinese.
They are one of the original civilisational races along with Persian, Greek, Roman, Indus Valley.
Chinese have no interest in being a hegemonic power. Because of the brutality that it entails. And eventually they break into pieces.
China makes no false promises about being your indisputable ally.
In Bangladesh they have built reliable infrastructure cost effectively and stayed out of Bangladeshi politics.
Chinese do not demonise and gaslight Muslims 24/7 like the Hindus, Jews and high proportion of Christians.
Don’t make war with the one race not looking for a fight with Muslims.
I'm just saying that just because China is growing, it doesn't mean that the US and Europe will turn into Africa the moment their places are reversed.
That aside, building an empire takes more than just science and technology. The US inherited an empire from the British. I mean look at us, we are communicating with each other in English right now. Can you imagine us communicate in Chinese in the near future? I don't think that's possible in the next 5-10 years at all.
The US is not an empire because it has the lead in science and technology. That's just one aspect of their superiority in recent decades. There's more. It's more than money and knowledge.
As for Iran, most of our infrastructure either dates back to the time of the Shah, or before 2008 sanctions. The rest of our infrastructure has been built domestically with our own engineers.
