No thanks, replacing one imperialist for another won't help the world.

I think it's pretty clear that despite Trump's attempts to revitalize US manufacturing, the US won't be able to outpace China's industrial growth even if they hard pivot. China is, like it or not, almost certainly the next Global Hegemon as the US' grip on the world is falling. Western Europe won't be able to oppose it either.

I think Chinese citizens are generally hopeful for their country, but more than anything I think most of their citizens would want everyone to advance. I don't think any doubt that China will surpass the US.

As an Indian, I think they seem more well-planned and more decent than recent USAmerica.
India and China does have border issues, but I do respect them as I agree with their leftist view of reducing poverty and improving literacy. I think our countries could come to decent compromise there.
Also, the communism aspects.

But saying that a single country is the future is too simple.

And even the Chinese seem to be not emulating America to be an empire.
I think their aim is a multi-polar world. Atleast if the random yt vids I saw are proper representations.

Still hoping for that future that's borderless and red and queer and bold.

I mean china is an authoritarian state, that kinda thing never works for long

the future of neo-colonialism? definitely

Not a nationalist, I find this a terrifying thought, but 100%. Unless action is actually taken in the U.S., I don't think the West stands a chance. China is already in a much stronger position than I think many Westerners realize, they made tremendous gains during the last Trump presidency. If Trump really does cling to power for the rest of his life, I think we'll see a world where SA, SEA, Africa and parts of Europe are all completely economically reliant on China.
