China really needs to start throwing their weight around on the global stage if they want to be anything more than a regional power.

China should be filling the vacuum on the global stage that the US is vacating.

Maybe after the Chinese authorian regime is done with the cleansing of the uyghurs, they take the place of the US and help Israel with the cleansing of Palestine

China already is extending their hand to places affected by USAID being shut down, I believe.

Everyone had this prediction that China would become the world's number one superpower at some point, but I don't know if people predicted that was because the U.S. shot itself it the face.

the hostile corporate takeover is in full effect in the USA. The downfall of America is happening in realtime at an accelerated rate. Capitalism will be the downfall of whatever democracy was left in the US.

China is just sitting back and letting the U.S. hang itself. They'll step up and step in once America is well and truly down for the count.

Can't help but notice this. Turns out, the communist plot to destroy America was the billionaires we made along the way.

Marx did say that capitalism would produce its own gravediggers. This isn't quite what he had in mind but...it'll do I guess.
