Spite the European Union's goal to show more united strength in the global power game, it remained a paper tiger compared to the actual super powers. The member states were constantly quarreling over domestic and foreign policy with no clear vision for their own position in the world. This self-made chaos, the poor status of digitization in general and the missing ownership of companies for the digital economy (hence even more dependency to USA) were all hampering factors which made it very easy for China to pass the EU in power. <!--As Europe's economic leader Germany's digital ridiculous backwardness is especially to be criticized.

China's ambitions are basically everywhere. They reached '''economic dominance'''.

They wanted to thwart China's growth strategy and hinder the installation of an all-enclosing WCG. The African states still remember [[wp:Scramble_for_Africa|Europe's phase of colonialism]] and hence have a somewhat open ear the NC's actual pretextual arguments but see it difficult not to continue trade with China.) | China's ambitions are basically everywhere.

The strongest dependencies China has created can be found within their new "domestic" Asian-Pacific market. One state after another became lost in China's economic and '''therefore political gravity'''. | The strongest dependencies China has created can be found within their new "domestic" Asian-Pacific market.
