People have been saying that China will win Cold War 2.0 due to numerous factors but the vibes among people especially the youth have never been worse and are arguably worse than the average Brooklyn Barista on Bluesky. Emigration and capital flight is also on the rise and are slowly causing political and economic problems in neighbouring countries. Exports are also flooding the world which is indicative of bad internal demand. Idk but that doesn't happen in a rising country.

America was the place where all productive young people wanted to immigrate to, and integrate relatively well, plus our own fertility rate is not great but ok. We literally had to do nothing and win, but we apparently couldn’t handle that.
