How many kids did your parents generation have? How many kids does your generation have?
You realize China's entire economy is reliant on cheap numerous expendable labor, and once your population collapses as a failure of chinese men to breed, the economy collapses as well?
Your superpower dream will die with a wet fart in adult diapers, when the majority of China's population is comprised of Old farts instead of Young workers. And that is where China is headed. It's over.

Also, this shit belongs on /pol/, is there no jannies here?

>You realize China's entire economy is reliant on cheap numerous expendable labor?
You realize they are now taking the path of a developed economy and relying on increasing efficiency and productivity gains over cheap labor? You realize both China & the US (and every nation outside Africa) are suffering from the same problem of collapsing fertility rates?

Yet, China:
>isn't actively hostile to its own people
>investing in getting the youth useful degrees in industry and IT[*]
>has a strong manufacturing base to draw from
>enacting pro-natalist policies to encourage family formation
>secure in its need for fuel and natural resources through its alliances with Russia, Iran & Saudi Arabia + numerous stakes in resource-rich Africa

Meanwhile, in the US:
>ESG ratings forcing businesses to select for diversity over merit
>investing in the youth getting into college no matter how bullshit the degree, student loans at all-time high and major hindrance to family formation
>elites offshored all manufacturing to Asia
>real wages have stagnated since the 70s as productivity gains have been mostly captured by the elite
>essential parts of the economy like agriculture, construction, and maintenance still reliant on the constant flow of cheap illegal scab labor
>bulk of economic activity is from unprofitable tech unicorns and stonks arbitrage that create no real world value
>shoring up fertility rates with the worst solution imaginable: mass immigration from the third world
>spends trillions on pointless foreign wars
>current administration using up accumulated strategic oil reserves to counter effects of pointless proxy war with Russia

I say the US is in a more precarious position than China. Unless they get sensible nationalist policies to tide the decline, the empire may be beyond saving as demographic change will turn the country into an extension of South America.
