> I’ll bet it’s less neon and flying cars and more boarded up retail shops and government sponsored troll farms. No technological advancement? Has the CCP indicated that they'd prefer a stand still on that front? I'm sure the future will be different as is expected when a large power claims its place. Whether the losses will be in the West or primarily in the Third World will be a major question. So far, the Chinese seem not too much into large scale empire building, but primarily exercising control over "their backyard", similar to Russia in Ukraine etc and the US in Latin America. But that might change, of course, if they ever become the most powerful nation with a similar margin over the rest as the US has enjoyed for the last decades.
