    Good, if the middle power democracies don't align/work together they are going to get torn apart in the struggle between the US and China.

      One thing that is common about middle democracies is that prioritize a bureaucratic elite structure over an entrepreneurship culture, while both the US and China embrace entreprenuership wholeheartedly.

      If they changed that they'd perhaps become world powers themselves.

        The CCP retains too much power over businesses and business leaders for me to consider them to "embrace entrepreneurship wholeheartedly."

          Because the US isn't exactly on the same path, right?

            On the same path and on the same point of the path are two very different things.
