Ladies and gentleman the real basic concept we dislike to remember is that to be a power we need to be powerful... Powerful in industry, technology, military, science, ... if at a certain point in time we decide that "unpleasant activities" can be outsourced exactly because we can and some others can't so they are willing to help we start to loose power. It will take time, but sooner or later for the classic principle of communicating vessels will made the loosing power a looser and the nascent one a real power. China now have no choice but expand: they can't nourish their citizens and without panem citizens will revolt. Also China start to have aging population problems because in their rapid rise they have create a bit of wealth, as always, and that means people who live longer and want better conditions, as always. Western world is around 50 year ahead, population if far more aged and wealthy, we are living mostly on our power without any real effort to keep it alive except military and economical oppression. Having no more industry, no more real public research for the public we fade into darkness and so we equally need going to war against ascending competitors. ANYONE want to be a global dictator, who, even a single citizens do not like to dominate? Why cleaning the house is someone do that for me, even for free or nearly for free? Why competing for a partner if in a snap of fingers countless potential partners are there ready to give pleasure without nothing or nearly nothing in exchange? I can go on for long but that's the pattern of essentially anyone, from individuals to empires. Since of course there is not so much disparity while one ascend others of similar "size" do eye it as an enemy. It's the old classic story, only in that case we are on the loosing side and as always that's disturbing. We can of course remain in power but that demand a complete change in our élites who have nourished a population incapable of being adult with the exact purpose of remaining in power. Same old game: all want effective society, army facing enemies but powerless sheep inside. In all regimes. Long story short my fellow humans... It's about time to REALLY discuss Democracy, but in substantial terms, not in formal terms just to keep up the old new game.
