Does nothing

China asserted itself as a merchant race and a martial race when it plundered the martial races.

Says the raceless Jewish golem KEK

Even then, China's military actions in the past showed its merchant nature. The Han and Tang embarked on their military expeditions in the steppe not to conquer them and settle the lands with their subjects, but to secure trade routes. Rather than colonizing and conquering, Chinese have always focused on trade. Other merchant races like Jews, Armenians, and Gujaratis could never established centralized states to enforce their trade interests. This is why China is the sole great power today with a merchant mindset.

>Also I always wonder how did China get their hands on the latest tech and manufacturing industry
their research and development is actually shit (underfunded). they do it by through theft, reverse-engineering tech they get their hands on, and using foreign companies often joint with chinese ones. foreign companies can't really get a foothold there but they use them for all sorts of projects involving tech they can't do themselves. i assume they get they eventually get their own expertise from it.

>When Russia ordered a full out invasion however people cringed.
a country controlled by nato was invaded that's the only reason. no one cares about chinese-indian border clashes because india is its own faction and nothing came of it. no one was 'awed' because the news didn't even mention it.

>I’m Surprised no superpower before China ever attempted this desu

Britain actually tried after dominating India except its colonial & mercantile agents always do something stupid abroad (infuriate locals, get involved in local wars) that it forces the Empire to act. Hence the "Accidental Empire" school of British historiography.

But wait, the jews are a merchant race and they control the largest merchant empire in history. Thanks to enslaving the martial races they're by association a martial race as well.
The end game is going to be merchant races siccing martial races against each other, isn't it?

i think you guys are putting to much weight on this martial vs merchant race model, as the second post shows it matters little, but it is very funny.

IP is a spook

an explanation isn't an attack on your personal political affiliation and doesn't need refutation

Jews are a merchant race that took over an Anglo-founded (martial) empire that was rooted in hard imperialism which is difficult for the US to escape from fully, hence why it still engages in overseas wars for political interests while a true merchant empire would only engage in war if they were cut off from trade, while American wars are often purely geopolitical against states that would happily trade with the US even despite opposing ideologies. This is why China is the only true merchant great power, and also why its victory is assured.

>to secure trade routes
Sorry but that just sounds like imperial apologia. Chinese dynasties absolutely threw their weight around and frequently resorted to military force when diplomacy failed. There's a reason China's neighbors hate them.

While they would usually try to play the barbarians against each other ("use the barbarians to destroy the barbarians" as the Chinese saying goes), they would often invade neighboring countries to vassalize them, and in the case of nomads, establish military commanderies (see pic related) to keep them under control. Hell, the Great Wall was less of a border fence and more of a staging ground for deeper invasions throughout most of its history.

Although this is justified from a strategic standpoint (all empires from Rome to Persia to China were forced to dedicate massive resources to combat nomads), it's bit inaccurate to say the Chinese were peace loving merchants who just wanted to secure trade routes.
