RSSA nice article but it misses all the most important facts. First, China faces a catastrophic demographic situation that is even worse than in Japan. Second, there will be no direct war between the US and China; rather, the US will try to drive China into a regional war against as many countries as possible, just as it successfully did with Russia in Ukraine. The Ukraine war has been an enormous success for the US. Third, Xi Jinping now is a dictator for life, and although competent, such a system usually ends badly. Finally, Hua’s discussion of Jews in the US ironically might well include Ron himself, given his previous support for mass immigration and his role in the extractive finance industry.
In what way has it been an enormous success?
The Ukraine war has been an enormous success for the US.
The problem with this thesis is that ironically the Ukraine war has more or less neutralized most if not all of the war hawks in the countries surrounding China. Not even the Philippines which is effectively the corrupt, unofficial 53rd state of the US is chomping at the bit to get into a fight with China anymore, even with US backing. The fact is all of them want to fight China down to the last American, and now seeing what the US has done to Ukraine realize in the event of hostilities they'll be fighting China alone.
