They've said that every decade since ww2. I think China will have to pay off the US for their misdeeds, but they have built a valuable step in their progress in the world. They can go explore a new social role with their influence in the south china sea and with the BRI.
I would be concerned about China in the 2030s and 2040s.

They said the more conventional industrialization that followed would be more successful, and it was. They said the Cultural Revolution would be a disaster, and it was. When Deng switched to the free market path, the experts said it would work, and it did. And now they are saying that Xi's new semi-Maoism is going to turn out bad, and sure enough, it seems it is. But I bet you already knew all that.

They can now strategically threaten the oil imports for a whole bunch of SEA countries and are still growing as a military power. If the experts are correct, can they hurry up and be correct faster because I can't wait for a prediction that has no timeframe requirements.
