The reason that China looks to be reluctant to using its military power is because China could always find other peaceful ways that could bring the country higher benefits. The reason that China becomes so strong today is not that it uses its military power recklessly, but because it concentrates on economic development and manufacturing industry upgrade. With money on hand and a powerful manufacturing sector, China therefore gets the freedom to produce whatever machines/weapons it wants to build.
Compared to some other super power, e.g. US, who uses its military force constantly since the end of the cold war, do you think the comprehensive national strength of US is therefore becoming stronger, or weaker? Answer me.
Go back to the TPP that you mentioned again and again. I feel really bored. But I still show you some last patience to illustrate you some easy figures (the figures later are all measured by 2005 USD, source: World Bank)
- China: 2013 GDP was 4,912.9 billion dollar, 2014 GDP was 5,274.1 billion dollar; therefore the net growth rate 2014 is 7.35%; the net increment 2014 was 361 billion dollar.
- Vietnam: 2014 GDP was 97.8 billion dollar.
- 361/97.8=3.7! Which means China's net GDP increment is even equivalent to 370% of Vietnam's total GDP!
- Let's assume TPP could bring Vietnam an additional GDP growth of 5% (this is already a super optimistic forecast). And within the 5% additional growth digit, 80% of the growth comes from the business chances that Vietnam gains from Chinese companies.
- With the assumptions above, China's GDP net increment will thereof be reduced by: 5%x80%= 4% of VN's GDP. The GDP net increment now is 370% of VN's total GDP, which represents a 7.35% of GDP growth rate. China's GDP growth rate will thereof be reduced by 4%/370%*7.35%=0.08%, or China's GDP growth rate will grow from 7.35% to 7.35%-0.08%=7.27%.
- Can we say GDP growth rate reduced by 0.08% as "economic collapse"? Answer me!
I believe the logic chain I showed you is clear enough. But I'm still not sure if this is something that your brain could digest. I welcome any constructive and logical dialogue. But I'll stop responding to your stupid nonsense on bragging TPP. That's a complete waste of my valuable time. I believe even other more reasonable VN PDFer could understand my decision.
As long as you could beat PLA, you could do whatever you like to China
