      China is currently the only superpower that lack descend from white Europeans and who managed to create its own independent economy that are immune to sanctions and monopoly from Western European diaspora. There is also the fear of hard working innovative scary red masterminds who the invisible hand is recruiting into key management positions of Pax Americana that made Pax Americana strengthen their oppressive command economy against free market. The Capitalists had been using heavy government intervention to kill peaceful protestors who demand meritocracy and accountability, but the favorism by the invisible hand to the scary red boogymen made the Capitalists enforce brutal government intervention more openly.
