Their only power is in their manufacturing sector and the money it brings. If countries start moving out to other nations, China's economy could not sustain itself. China thinks it can bully other nations, but Xi Jinping's policies will damage relationships China has worked hard to build in the past. He's pushing business away and isolating its self. Not to mention infuriating its neighbors with the construction of artificial islands violating international law while it illegally tries to expand its borders. Oh & then the countless human rights violations it constantly engages in, slave labour, cultural genocide & much more. CCP is backing itself into a corner.
