===History=== | |||
Napoleon once said: "China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move the world." | |||
Despite the European Union’s goal to show more united strength in the global power play, it remained a paper tiger compared to other super powers. All the more since China passed all others by growing inside and outside their boarders on all levels. | |||
China's ambitions are basically everywhere. They reached '''economic dominance''' – and even more important, dependency – in the [https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/16/economy/rcep-trade-agreement-intl-hnk/index.html Asian-Pacific area], in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Latin_America_relations South America], in the EU by having build a new silk road, dupe them in trade contracts, getting shares in key industries/companies, farming their know-how for their own technical development and turning the EU into a more export-only trade area. Also, China invested into African companies and infrastructure trapping them in debts. | |||
The strongest dependencies of China's were found within their new "domestic" Asian-Pacific market. One after another became lost in China's economic and '''therefor political gravity'''. | |||
Having all this power China began to aim higher. By now they could risk being independent from USA if they really wanted to. Therefor '''selling all their US debts''' – sometimes named "'''nuclear option'''" – became a much less theoretical option for '''blackmailing'''. | |||
China latest hacking campaign and bounty for US-soldiers in Afghanistan were not just a dangerous muscle flexing but also a charm offensive to Russia who had been thrown out of Afghanistan by Al-Qaida that the CIA had build up. For a long time Russia had intended to stay an independent player but given enough push and pull factors they agreed China's deal to being their '''junior partner against their common enemy''' USA. | |||
Meanwhile Kusnezow Feng, China’s renowned and respected star philosopher, wrote a number of scenarios that the world would turn upside down in best cast or witness great filters in worst case within the next century unless mankind would act in unison. | |||
''' | The latest pandemic posed a potential '''hypercrisis''' which made it easy for Feng to '''run in open doors'''. In a time of new trade wars and arms races, while there were so many global debts, fighting climate change and other problems – a chain reaction, one crisis starting or reinforcing another – seemed a likely threat to everyone. | ||
Fully trusting Feng and having "waked up" the Chinese government wanted to counter these scenarios. Using their economical power they forced the other super powers to establish a global federal super state. Officially it was supposed to be a massive revamp up version of the United Nations which China – with the guaranteed US shares – had already under its control. | |||
Inside a united world Feng saw no more use of most national military. In fact Feng took a page from Eisenhower's book – an utterly respected ex-president of the United States who warned his people about the [https://youtu.be/OyBNmecVtdU?t=521 military-industrial complex]. | |||
Eisenhower also had been a five-star general which gave Feng at least the minute chance to reach Americans' "military soul". | |||
: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." | |||
So to counter the scenarios more effectively having less military for more GDP was very welcome although a phase of difficult transition was needed to be overcome: the physical structures being "butter and bacon" for many ([[wp:List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures|billions of dollar each year]]) and the long tradition of serving in military being a patriotic duty. | |||
With tooth grinding American government eventually agree to the idea of a WCG. | |||
However, Eisenhower's idea of an "alert and knowledgeable citizenry" had been mostly replaced by a paranoiac world view where every man was a potential threat, a terrorist, who must be observed, tracked, analyzed and ranked. This world view was hold by all three super powers – like their increasing despite for independent journalists and whistleblowers. This meant a shift away from military towards a system of total surveillance and "[[wp:Social_Credit_System|social credit]]" to frame the "free will". | |||
America agreed on the condition that, among other reforms, all debts were removed. They thought that could give them the chance to escape the Chinese grasp one day again. | |||

WCG ideological heads begun to fear the completion of a "technology sphere" in which further inventions and rationalizations would cut many workplaces. The capitalistic system needs the people to work for their money. When they can't earn money then they can't spent it for goods and then the manufacturing-plants would have to stop working. A breakdown of this cycle was unacceptable [until the system would underwent a change which was unlikely to happen]. The specter of Communism should be kept in its box. That's one reason why the WCG took control of technological research. | WCG ideological heads begun to fear the completion of a "technology sphere" in which further inventions and rationalizations would cut many workplaces.
