China has taken over the world. Well... actually not quite yet, but they are still incredibly close.
And by 'taken over' I mean economically. They don't use force, well they do but, not in the ordinary way.
Throughout history China has been quite literally the center of the world. When you wanted something good, you went to China. When you wanted something beautiful, you went to China. When you wanted anything that wasn't practically dirt, you went to China.
China started to lose their grip on the world's economy when it got way too arrogant. Most notably during the industrial revolution. When one went over for audience in China, they still used Latin to communicate, while European side used... well, they wanted to use their own respective languages. But technology evolves and China lost it's power.
That is til the current Chinese government was set up. Although it was quite weak in the beginning, now... now it's almost unmatched.
During the final decades of China's empire age, and WW times. It was somewhat abused by everyone. Now China uses the same tactics on these abusers.
Of course I'm just dumbing everything down a bit, but that's practically what happened, and what is happening. This chapter is just a warning to be ready for Chinese takeover.
