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.
I’m going to use an example of technological prowess, but I
do it only to suggest that China has transitioned to a nation
that now can innovate technologically.
In the 1990s I sought to discourage sending all our manufacturing
to China, and in part it was because innovation will generally
camp out in the same neighborhood as production. You don’t
generally sell the same exact product over time. You create
a nicer more useful replacement.
China is making decent inroads on new battery technology.
It isn’t the same old China copying things others were doing
I’m not saying I never see that anymore, but China does
innovate now. Others may see it differently, but I believe
their televisions and electronics have matured as an industry.
I think other things have also.
The US white population is in the same condition.
As noted above, wbee can export our liberal white women to China (and our non-binaries to North Korea), and it will be a win-win situation.
Have they? Give me an example. Mexican workers are more skilled than Chinese today. And we can’t send the most complex work to them, because they can’t do it.
Duplicating our technology perfectly. Unhindered.
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.

Ever looked at the fish section of a Save-a-lot store in the US? Or Walmart? Or any grocer, really...
Product of China
On American-looking packaging.
And the Chinese own Smithfield ham and bacon, as I recall.
The author does overlook one thing the CCP might do to reverse the economic strain of supporting an aging population. They could go Andrew Cuomo on it.
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.
The problem is most of those men are getting long in the tooth to be used as cannon fodder in a war. 20 years ago They were of prime military age - not so much now. Median population age in China is 38.
Actually, some young Chinese men have traveled to countries such as Thailand and Vietnam to find brides.
China doesn’t have 1.6 billion people. It never had and never will have 1.6 billion. China officially claims 1.4 billion (and acknowledges that number is declining) and plenty of demographers believe that the official number overestimates the population by at least 100 million.
The 21st century won’t be the Chinese Century, American Century, Russian Century or any other country. It will be the Century of Destruction, Decline and Disintegration.
