Why would China do that if the US became like a failed state? Just to make sure they would never recover again? I mean, what would happen to all the nukes in the US? Detonated remotely?
It is scary to think about a weapons technology that's an order of magnitude bigger than what exists today. If it were to get too lopsided towards a totalitarian regime it would be catastrophic.
I don't think the CCP is this though. A lot of their kids live and work in the US. The world is quite interconnected.

Ahh yes I guess nukes would be the final deterrent if still operational.
Why does the IMF/World Bank/China etc do poisoned deals in Africa etc? I'm sure if our state is failing they could find some way to profit if they can force an upper hand negotiating and areas of our country are desperate for handouts. Introduce debt and security deals etc until they own most of the country...
