He was right.

But does china surpass the US economically by the mid way point of the century? He was already wrong about it liberalizing

China will surpass the USA in the long run because China isn't burdened with the democrat vs republican back & forth bullshit politics which burns through resources and destabilizes not only US politics but also divides the nation

You think Chinese politics are any more stable than western? Kek. I can't tell if you're a victim of their propaganda or America's.

not him. chinese politics are a shitshow, but their way of doing things is more conducive to quickly developing vital industries and keeping them in running order than america's (which is a problem if you've spent the past 40 years dismantling your industry because it's cheaper to buy from shitholes)
