It is not that we want to be leaders, but that Chinese people are not natural leaders. It's part of your culture, Chinese people need to be told what to do. Democracy would never work in China because your society is still too far behind the west. Chinese people can't make their own decisions. You need someone to be your boss and lead you, where it is a foreigner or a few guys at the top of the communist party.

The same way you young children need their parents to tell them what to do.
Even though your culture is old, your culture and society are still babies. Underdeveloped and immature.
Maybe in another 5000 years you can grow up.

You have to remember, even though China is growing its just because you have a lot of people. China is still this silly place where people litter and make things that break. I know China has a big military now, but if they are anything like the Chinese police I have seen then it is just a massive peasant army. Low quality. The US army doesnt respect the Chinese military. They pay attention to you, but they have to know China is a bit of a joke.

Everyonoe always talks about what would happen if there was a war. China would lose because all the people operating missile defense and radar, and intelligence would be caught off gaurd by the US and would not be able to respond. Probably because they are lazy so they downloaded QQ and other Tencent programs onto their work station. As a result all the computers would freeze. America would destroy you while you computre is still loading.
