Despite some economic setbacks, China continues its rise as the primary military threat to the USA, while most of the USA leadership prioritizes promoting Wokeism as part its continued losing war against God, apart from a relative remnant of Biblical born-of-the-Spirit believers of effectual justifying faith and thus conservative morals.
Who, along with some other conservatives of varied degrees and motivation, politically (at least) oppose the power-seeking Left and thus are marked as enemies of a United states of Sodom, though faithful servants of the Lord Jesus seek the salvation of both peoples and nations.
And yet, America is more accountable than most others, and as will realize chastisement by the hands of the wicked, which God uses for such, (Psalms 17:13) and thus to which applies:
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:3-4)
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12)
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hosea 8:14)
Yet,
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (1 Peter 4:17-18)

Time to export DEI to China.
We have trained our replacements.
In all of history’s great wars and the contests between civilizations, it has always been that the better thinkers come out on top.
“Diversity is our strength”...
And American colleges are all to happy training the Chinese. And they aren’t majoring in “Chinese Theory” or some other BS degree. It is frequent now that major discoveries and technological advancements are done by Chinese researchers in American colleges.
The Economist examined China’s potential to become a scientific superpower only of it’s easy for them to steal other peoples ideas/products
I’ve been in science/engineering since around 1990 or so. Since 1986 if you include college.
Years ago the majority of publications were from Europe, Japan and North America.
That’s not the case today; most are from China.
In terms of sourcing materials and products from China it’s different because quality varies tremendously from excellent to awful.
Unfortunately, the veneer of China’s technological achievements can’t hide the fact their technical goods are often of very shoddy quality. Even Apple’s products manufactured in China had to get outside supervision to ensure reasonable quality.
Let’s not promote “God wants us to have a war with China” narrative.
Do not blame China, Russia, or anyone else for America’s self-inflicted psychosis and self-suicide.
“Today, it is clear that China has achieved this status. Chinese scientists have gained prominence in high-quality science measures, surpassing both the United States and the European Union”
AND, a large number of “American” and “European” scientist and researchers are of Chinese descent.
Besides renewables and despite having over a billion people they contribute jack to human advancement.
One really needs to despise America to believe this crap.
The grass is always greener somewhere else pointing mostly to two second wo9rld nations is of naive 12yos.
Welcome to Poo bear’s ministry of propaganda.
The scribbler forgot to include that the abacus is proof that the Chinese invented the computer.
Fixed it.
I think a large part of that is self-inflicted by the US.
We are dumbing ourselves down, worrying more about DEI and PCness that actual merit and tech advances.
While this can applied to the USA, is sure can be applied, as well, to China!
