I feel like the US is becoming like China. Very economically important obviously, but will end up culturally irrelevant. It's hard to build up that much ill-wil

I feel like the US is becoming like China. Very economically important obviously, but will end up culturally irrelevant. It's hard to build up that much ill-will and still be considered glamorous. I can be wrong, and this isn't my personal judgement, but a genuine prediction.
- DontchaKnowit 1y agoChina is bery culturally relevant and rising. But otherwise yeah I agree with you
- yoyohello13 1y agoChina is filling the void the US is leaving. It’s kind of wild seeing the US just ceding dominance to China one step at a time.
- geoka9 1y ago> China is bery culturally relevant Sure, every country is. But I think what the OP meant is that US cultural artifacts are (have been so far) much more in demand. I don't remember the last time I watched a Chinese movie or listened to a Chinese band... It could be because I'm in a western country, but I've also lived in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, and American movies, music and literature were much more popular there, too.
- Mr_Minderbinder 1y ago> I don't remember the last time I watched a Chinese movie or listened to a Chinese band… I have seen quite a few films from Hong Kong and a few have achieved some level of popularity and recognition in the West but perhaps you do not consider a HK movie to be a Chinese movie. > ...I've also lived in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, and American movies, music and literature were much more popular there, too. I can believe that for movies and maybe music but certainly not literature.

- intalentive 1y agoIn what respect is the US becoming like China?
- bllguo 1y ago1. it is highly relevant outside the western bubble, 2. their domestic market is large enough that china does not have to whore itself out to the west like korea or japan, 3. you gloss over the deliberate suppression by the US regime. japan was not "culturally relevant" in the US before the late 80s when they bent the knee
