No one is here to dispute US’ contribution to end the 2nd world war but that is history. One can go further back and claimed the Roman Empire was the most powerful 2000 years ago. China did not even have an “economy” so to say, in that era where US ended the WW II
But things have changed. UK is weak and undecided, whereas Japan and Germany has risen beyond the ashes WW II and became technological and economic powerhouses. And have gone into years of recession as well. America was respected for probably half a century for its moral leadership, for its economic power, their private enterprises achievement was phenomenal and brought great progress to the world.
And then, things continued turning worse for for America and there is no turning back without a miracle. If you are still reminiscing in the greatness of America, I suggest you play yourself some sentimental music. All good things will come to and end, just like the great Roman Empire. America became so full of itself after crushing Russia in the Cold War, thks to that dumbo Gorbachev who allowed the Soviet Union to adopt the path of Perestroika. (I still suspect till this day Gorbachev was a mole planted by Ronald Reagan to break up Soviet Union.) America, the sole superpower, gloat in it’s invincibility and nobody could stop them. They started committing grave errors by spending too much time focussing on instigating regime changes all over the world, whichever Govt that is not aligned to American interest. They spent billions on wars and ignored their trillions of deficit. They didn’t care because the Japanese would fund them anyway, in the form of the worthless US Bonds. In a way they knew that Japan is forever indebted to them and won’t push them to repay. And then came the rise of China who was happy to share the burden of Japan. Still, America forgot they need to take care of their own backyard! While everyone else shot ahead with progress, economic development, poverty eradication, overhaul of infrastructure and civil service... America remain stuck in the 70s. And then they realised their very own American enterprises moved half their jobs to their new enemy China. Out of own will, China did not force them!
US is technically owned by Japan/China. US will never be able to redeem it’s Govt Bonds. It has to keep issuing new Bonds to replace maturing ones. It is technically bankrupt, eg. If Japan/China decided to stop subscribing to US Bonds.
And being the 野蛮 people as they are, instead of expressing gratitude, they abuse their lenders. Can you imagine you lend money to your bankrupt buddy and he still spew nonsense about you. Why do people condone such behavior?? China has its issues which you may not like, but heck, it’s their political system. If they are stupid like Gorbachev and adopt Perestroika like reforms, they will sure be the next Russia. So kudos to China for its wisdom. One will have to be wary of their growing dominance which could lead to bad behavior “one day” but hellooooooo.... US is already behaving like a gangster?
