Bro the inflection point is 2025 (full tech independent), one year from now, if nothing happen, the cascading effect of China ascendancy will force the American to accept the Chinese as peer competitor. They will still play a proxy war BUT the advent of full scale conflict is low.
Well tbh we have lived in a period of peer competition for a long time. The trade war was a battle between peers, and arguably, it is now US which is only near peer to China.

Economy wise, China is significantly ahead both in size terms and in economic health as well.

Tech is a tossup with both sides having their own niches, China has much better track record of breaking into new sectors though.

Militarily speaking, US has a larger starting force. China has more wunderwaffen, whose impact is debatable, but otherwise the level of quality is very even.

Culturally/demographically, US is ahead, the cultural anglosphere is maybe 3-4 billion+ vs 1-2 billion sinosphere. But it's not all roses for them, US only directly controls its own population and getting the nonwhite western worshippers to do the correct stuff for them is like herding cats. Not to mention US' core population don't like being swamped by brown people.

If one were to talk comprehensive national power, the most objective analysis would be "around equal".

Send the politicians and their children first.
I'm personally making plans to get out of dodge before i'm called up; conscription will be sold to australians as ww2 redux to save australia from the asian horde, which means the formerly laid back australian people will be swept up in a yellow peril typ pogroms against Chinese and 'i'm not chinese, i'm korean' Asians, and the indians will gladly pitch in because there's nothing they love better than to beat down asians who they compete against.

There is no Asian horde, at least not the way the idiot politicians imagine it. There will be no military invasion and barbarians who storm through the suburbs killing raping and pillaging. It will be an invasion of tech, investment, and culture, and much of it has already happened.

I was told that only authoritarian regimes, talk about how great the wealthy are doing while people die of despair and poverty around them.

It is now more dangerous to be an American man than a Brazilian man.

Surprised by how big the gap was. The study cited socio-cultural factors as a big contributor.

No wonder there's an incoming gender-culture war in the West's younger generation.



I'd wager it is a byproduct of decreasing living standards.

Young men are the ones that have it toughest in any society, as they're tasked to be the primary income while having to build their career from scratch at the same time.

That many of them become reactionary is the coal mine canary sign of the current trends of time being hostile to long term thriving. Mid career adults, older people and women have more of a buffer to tank the issues.

A major factor is societal/individual gender/practical expectations ultimately surrounding child-bearing and child-rearing. Only until neither gender or both genders are affected/accountable equally/minimally will this and several other related problems be solved.

Anglo Australian society is geared around keeping Australia happy for the boomer leadership and voting bloc, and being deathly afraid of being “swamped by asians”.
