yeah yeah yeah this is the standard Peter Zeihan thesis that the cool kids on Youtube and Geopolitics forums love to tout. What they fail to acknowledge is that the Chinese are extremely proud and nationalistic and if you look at any industry you can think of from nuclear to semiconductor to even animation they are determined to out compete the US and they continue to post impressive gains in such a small amount of time. Their work ethic is just astounding. Not even Hollywood or Starbucks is safe. I wonder what the Chinese McDonalds will be?

Maybe Xi Jinping really did mess up taking over as supreme leader and we will see the consequences play out in the next 20 years. However, those 20 years will still be absolute hell for the US and their allies (lets be honest the US is the only real player). They may very well drag the US down to the bottom of the ocean with them by outclassing them at literally everything. The US is not some perfectly run paradise and it has severe issues that it did not have in the last challenge to its supremacy. We will see how things turn out.
