    The US has really degenerated into a strongman state hasn’t it? This is more like what they tell us to expect from China, but what we actually get from the US.

      Which goes to show that China under Xi is probably the best "super power" enemy the US could ever hope for. What happens after Xi is anyone's get but I doubt it will be so benign.

        Why wouldn't it be so "benign"? Unlike the USA, China seems to have pretty sane leadership in general.

          Their handling of COVID was not proportional and caused a lot of harm. Not that the US president at the time did any better.
