Reliability is a big part of a good trading partner. Also helps if you can be reasoned with.
Cheap (slave) labor is also good for trade I guess. And an authoritarian regime is nice for stability.
Are you talking about USA or China?
Doesn't matter.
To be fair, dictatorships are brittle, they are 100% stable up until suddenly they collapse.
Just look at assad.
China seems to be lawful neutral. Much easier to deal with than USA's current chaotic evil.
Neutral??
Lawful??
Compared to USA, yes. Their own logic and code they follow.
Head empty. No thoughts.
Doesn't help that the stupid simple DnD system can't possibly give a decent explanation of the differences between the USA and China.
But yes, the USA is currently more threatening towards Europe and Canada than China is. The USA is also significantly more chaotic/unpredictable/unreasonable/insane.
