Is China already at war?

[Sarmatian]

USA isn't in decline.

Other countries are growing in power so it may look like it, but in absolute terms, US is growing as well.

The influence USA had on the rest of the world since the Cold War ended was unprecedented in human history and should be considered a momentary spike rather than natural state of things. It's going to end but that's normal and there's no room for doom and gloom.

The other thing I disagree with is the internal strife that China is supposedly gonna experience. There were and are many examples of a significant gap in the development between developed and less developed areas but that never spelt internal strife automatically.

China is investing a lot into developing the interior, much more than just economic reasons would necessitate. Also, most of the population in China lives in the developed areas. Sure, the interior is vast and quite a lot people live there if we take the actual numbers into account, but almost insignificant in terms of percentages.



China is also one of the ethnically most homogenous nations in the world, with 90+% identifying as Han people. Regionalism in China is pretty much non-existent.
