Japan is still no. 3. They have shown tremendous resiliency, in that way. And that includes the disaster from keeping interest rates too low, too long.
China, like Nazi Germany, is resource poor. China could not survive sanctions or embargoes very well. They import food to support their population.
Technological innovation? What technological innovation Is tge PRC responsible for?
We could send a bunch of our “Valley Girls” to China for breeding stock to dumb down the Chinese while keeping their men too busy to go to war.
What is the natural thing to do if you are the leader of a country with a surplus of men?
I would think war would be the thing to do if you have way more men than women and no prospects of keeping these men content.
China has been preparing for war for decades and the US has been standing by scratching our unmentionables while they have been doing it.
The US white population is in the same condition.
With a population of at least 1.6 billion people, The Red Chinese govt can wage a lot of low-level wars and threats of war all over the Western Pacific and on the land, if only by proxy - Burma, India - Himalayas region, Thailand, Philippines - the NPA and Islamic terrorists, Laos/northern Vietnam, and even in Africa. Don’t forget about Taiwan and it’s islands, some of which are only a few miles - been there, seen the mainland from Quemoy. Throw in Sri Lanka/Ceylon for key intervention with troops and ships.
Did has the manpower, ships, air force and troops to do a lot of this simultaneously while we have Gen. Silly Vanilli, the Drag Queens Navy, a PC equity Air Force Academy, and a Sec of Defense who won’t call out Russian aggression, Red Chinese threats of WW3, Iran’s nuclear weapons threats throughout the Middle East, No. Korea’s nuclear arsenal, and a possible South Africa-Red China alliance that would cut off all shipping around the Horn of Africa.
Be happy, don’t worry!! All is well, and we have a brain dead fool in the White House with his laughing hyena of a VP, and more drag queens heading our key government agencies, plus the corrupt security intelligence agencies going after conservatives instead of enemies, domestic and foreign.

When you are strong but weakening, it makes sense to use your power while you still have it.
China's problem, like the US's, is that their economy is dependent on most women being in the workforce rather than being home caring for kids.
Food for thought.
None of this changes the fact that all Chinese immigration should be banned as it was for several decades (albeit for different reasons) and all Chinese student visas cancelled. Ban should not apply to Taiwan.
Xi should move his people to a spiritual path - not a 'who can own the most large TV's path'... It would be refreshing for China and for the world.
