Will China Take Over the World?

As far as I can tell, the Chinese are never assimilated by other cultures, but the other way around.

Consider: 

The Mongols killed as many Chinese as possible, and took over their empire.  About 50 years later, the conquerors are speaking Chinese, writing Chinese, and can barely ride a horse anymore.
 
The Manchu, a completely distinct people with unrelated languages, dress, religion come and conquered China again.  Today, even the Chinese can't tell between Manchurians and Han Chinese. 

Every civilization around China, even without direct contact has been heavily influenced.

Now, as more Chinese head overseas into foreign communities, forming tight, isolate packs amongst themselves, could it be possible that they will exert a large cultural influence over us?  They are within us, spreading their beliefs and way of thought, I'd even bet a good part of 4chan is Chinese-American.

Will one day, the world around us, the Internet, the signs on the streets be half in Chinese?  Will we adopt Chinese customs and ways?  Or will we RESIST?

Discuss.

Duh?

We'll all be VIP

lulz china is gayayay

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

king of the hill sucks

true, what does that have to do with the koan in >>5?

china fuck yeah?

Chinese people are more worried about feeding and educating their kids than taking over the world, I was just living there for a year.  Oh, and they make fun of their government in the privacy of their homes constantly.

CHINA WILL GROW LARGER

China IS the world.  FUCK YEAH.

It's amazing how Westerners are terrified about a Chinkworld, whereas converting everybody to "Jeebus and His Almighty Dollar" is perfectly OK with them.  Hypocrisy, much?

At any rate, the West is collapsing into the mire of its own greed.  Learn to speak Mandarin and you'll probably make out (with hot Chinkchiks, too).  Keep speaking Amenglish instead and soon enough you won't be able to converse with any of the Spanish-speaking clerks in your city.  The route of loss is YOURS to choose!

>>12 with hot Chinkchiks
no such thing

America > China anyday

>>12
Disregard that, I suck the shit out of a gay man's asshole.

People in Hong Kong speak English but British people do not speak Cantonese.

FAIL.

Well, #13, Japcunts are fairly hawt to me, so I can only imagine that Chinkslits would fare similarly.  As for Americans ... well, after watching the latest pack of widebodies moo and stampede through the doors of another food establishment, I get to thinkin' that fappin' to /s/ really isn't that bad.  Oriental women at least are slimmer on average.

I might start learning Mandarin in 2012(I'll be in Japan then). Teachers here suck ass(I think).

America is fat

You've got it, #18.  If anyone thinks I'm going to stick my dick in any of those burger-chomping land whales, you've got another think comin' to ya, mister!  4chan + fappage = sweet relief ... relief from the walking sacks of disgusting suet that we laughingly call "American women".

They should change the name of this topic to "Fat girls or sideways vagina?"

Sideways vagina obv

On the other hand, fatties try harder, so its actually a tossup.

One thing to perhaps consider...  the Chinese refer to China sometimes as the "middle kingdom", meaning like, "centre of the world" (sound familiar, you damn yanks?).  They think China is really the only place that matters... you can go through the history and look at all the examples of China assimilating invaders, but can you find one example of China annexing foreign soil?  They tried once with Japan I know, and the Divine Winds saw to that...  but even why they sent out the Treasure Fleet, it was always to look for trade and to explore, never to conquer.

China's been really strong before, and centuries at a time before falling back to infighting muck...  but ever once, have they tried to take over another country?  Ever?  Once?

Hahaha, oh wait yeah Tibet, okay, but they considered that Chinese soil, so...  seizing land that was totally not Chinese soil at all?  Ever?

Since they have over a billion people in what is essentially a resource rich slave camp then, yes, if they really wanted to they could take over the world.

YEAH CHINA MIDDLE KINGDOM FOREVER!
THE SHINING LIGHT OF CIVILIZATION IN A DARK WORLD FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

NOW A BAJILLION OF US SLANTY EYED MOTHER FUCKERS ARE GREEDY AND AMBITIOUS AND READY TO TAKE YOU MOTHER FUCKERS DOWN A PEG.

>>23
my point is, they don't want to

>>22
Man you fail a lot
They called it "Middle Kingdom" because in ancient times they regarded it as their homeland and the "center" for THEIR point of view, just like the babylonians did

Mongolian conquerors were the ones that invaded Japan, not the Chinese Empire

And claiming/seizing land has been the way of Chinese expansion since the very beginning, Ancient China is not much different than Ancient Europe with many differing nations, its just the Han Chinese absorbed or displaced them all (The entire country of Laos consist of a dozen tribes displaced by Chinese throughout history)

It's ironic that we mock the Chinese for regarding themselves as the Middle Kingdom.  Because the word "Mediterranean" means exactly the same thing in its Greek origins. 

Then again, nobody has failed harder in the last 150 years than China.  France thinks the Chinese need to pull it together for a win.

If they can keep their economy going like they have for the last decade, there is a chance of some domination. They're pushing heavily to become an economic superpower, but when the bottom falls out (and I certainly hope that happens soon) of their stock market, they'll be in too large a tailspin to do any conquering. Frankly, I worry more about India to some extent, I think the Chinese government is moderately insane, while the Indian one is more unorganized and poorly funded.

As for their resistance to cultural changes, there are plenty of perfectly rational reasons that would be ignored immediately. The best would likely be that the Chinese have both a long history of strong culture and haven't been overtaken by a single outside group for long enough to make a lasting impact.

BUMP FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

What about countries like Tibet then, who've been neighbours with China for ages without succumbing to this "influence"?

Easy cultural answer, #30:  Tibetians are just more slants, and slants look after slants even when invading their nations.  Since we in America aren't slants, the Chinky Chinks will pwn the FUCK out of us with all that military and economic power.

I'm hungry. Anyone else want chinkies?

Tibet wasn't influenced by China because they were too busy being influenced by India.

Cruel people are wringing bile from the bear that lives.
