===== Bridge360 would decompose “China shapes the world economy” into different levels of “shaping”: =====
# Mass + Momentum shaping - Sheer scale of population, manufacturing, financial flows → yes, China is already a major attractor. - Bridge360 grants that high-autocracy regimes can dominate trajectories for decades.
# Fragility shaping - The more centralized and opaque the Politburo, the more its internal mis-calibration can become a global systemic risk (debt, property, war, Taiwan, South China Sea, etc.). - So China’s Politburo doesn’t just “shape GDP”; it shapes how and where the system might crack. - From Bridge360’s point of view, that’s “shaping” the world economy in a dangerous sense: as a potential failure attractor as much as a growth attractor.
# Template shaping - A high-autocracy regime that appears successful exports a memetic template: > - Bridge360 flags this as an entropy-shifting meme: it lets elites elsewhere justify higher autocracy while hiding the growing fragility in the tail.

So: yes, China “shapes” the world economy—but under Bridge360 norms, much of that shaping is through fragility export and tail-risk amplification, unless the governance template itself evolves.
