There are times when I think we should encourage the PRC to assume the role of the world “super power.” We could take a rest, and watch as China bankrupted itself through expansion and over-extension of its military.
Failing that, we might learn how to make a being a super power profitable, when its our turn again...
Think of Ireland, under English/British rule from whenever- you-want-to-start to 1922.
In both cases the country was profoundly changed by the outsiders, and not by the inhabitants or their local culture.
Expect the Chinese to have a similarly profound effect on a Disunited States. One to two centuries from now you will not recognize the ideas and culture as American.
