>The post-War liberal world order is on its way out and thank God but all this is shifting to, unless something changes, is Chinese predomination of markets and thus technological and cultural direction
Anon, China is dead. Aside of its ticking bomb of population that will implode it from the inside, just a half year ago USA banned trade of microelectronics to China. All of their AI and advanced technology research is dead. They have nothing to replace it with. I mean, they can try, but that will take years, meanwhile USA and Europe run ahead. Technology dead in the water, societal collapse imminent, what crack are you snorting to think China is able to become more than 2nd, 3rd tier player?
