I am sorry, but I don't buy into any of this competition nonsense. The simple fact is China is great because of the US not despite it. They are number one trading partners and along with Russia make up the new "petro alliance". It is pretty obvious what has happened really. Nations are no longer in control, I won't pretend China is any different at this point. A bunch of corporations calling the shots with decorations of communism or democracy. Propaganda used to convince people the government is more than a puppet to the wealthy at this point.

The only person who benefits from choosing to pursue truth than eat up propagandized unsourced theories is the self. I've taken some time to put pretty simple and evident, verifiable information right up there, if you wish to ignore it, you're the only one affected by it, I win nothing else than the pleasure of sharing and explaining information that I think is representative of things as they exist in our world. I have chosen the path of academic information such as books and papers to back up my beliefs, and not of oversimplified information with no source. Do you really believe that world politics and diplomatical relationships of the biggest superpowers layered on top of an information war that spans more than a century opposing the colonial post-colonial western states to the anti-colonial and anti-imperial global south can really be summed up to "*It's pretty obvious what has happened really*"? It almost sound like satire when I read it again.
