Colonization of the West: preliminary analysis and long-term prospects

Abstract

More than a hundred years ago, the World powers have started to turn China into a “subcolony”, and now the world faces a reversed process. China expands over the world, not with the use of military force, but adopting economic tools to make other countries heavily depended or indebted to China. The modern geopolitical situation requires new solutions, and it seems relevant to develop them basing not only on the present short-term concerns, but also on the legacy of the past era. There is a need for detailed understanding of the phenomenon of "reverse colonization" in order to deploy effective measures in order to ensure independent development of the economic and cultural situation in the non-Chinese world.
