Exactly, the US is not going to suddenly collapse, lol. It’s not gonna happen. It may be in a gradual decline that will take decades, even then the US will remain extremely powerful. Other countries caught up in the current US - China conflict understand this.
It has the best real estate on the planet with some of the best farmland, water, and only 300 million people. No natural enemies and protected by two oceans. It has Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, etc.. It’s better positioned than most countries against global warming due to abundance of natural resources.
This dream of US will collapse is a fallacy. China needs to be strong and stand up for itself against US bullying. But it’s interests are better served if US - China can be friends.
If US and China can’t be friends, then China needs to form alliances in Asia. Built up a network of friends that have similar interests, values and culture. Not just friendship based on trade or transactions.
Yes and China is the second most powerful country in the world and got number one looking over its shoulder without having everything the US has. The US is far more aggressive than China and they have so much more already.
They say India has advantages over China yet still behind. Americans per capita waste more than anyone else on the planet. They wouldn't be the biggest wasters on the planet if they knew everything they do is the best. The US couldn't take care of a billion people even with its own vast resources available to them.
