China has moved from copying to innovating years ago.
They simply got a jump start by copying everything, which was very smart on their part and Japs did the exact same thing decades ago too.
However to hold onto the idea that they can't innovate is fucking retarded, because you're not going to compete with them in real life by pushing any kind of outdated ideas or propaganda about them being bugmen copycats.
Every country will collapse when the US takes a shit, but it comes down to who bounces back first.
West has fuckall in terms of real productivity and doesn't have poorfag avenues to use for growth, where as China has the entire SEA region and also Latin America as a consumer base, and those places are growing rapidly.
Next decades are going to be the Chink + Latam economic boom era.
