          China is a paper tiger economy built upon slave labor, fast consumerism, and environmental destruction. If and when such cultural habits change the consumer economy will collapse, and that’s with believing the fake numbers the Chinese government releases. Along with population decline and the top heavy population caused by the one child policy, the economy will stagnate even further.

          China is 15-20 years behind on the technology curve for domestic research and production. Their current technology base is literally copied from the rest of the world.

          Politically, massive degradation of rights and freedoms for citizens, civil rights violations against minorities, the religious, and the political opposition. They have actual concentration camps, not just detainment centers in the US people bring up.

          China has one leg up on the US with a comprehensive health coverage… if you avoid being a forced organ donor for the elite.
