Its becoming clear that China is on track to match or overtake the USA as a global superpower. Since like half of our economy is based on Chinese imports - is there even anything the bourgeoisie / military / intelligence agencies can do about it? Do you think we're going to move more towards conflict or is China going to pimp slap us and tell us to know our role or they won't make any iphones for us or whatever.

Real conflict seems very unlikely but there are psychos like John Bolton who will refuse to accept that USA isn't numba 1 anymore.

    but we may see countries flirting with China or a China model flipped, as what happened with Bolivia recently.

    Ukraine was flirting with the idea of closer ties with Russia and turning away from the EU and Obama's state dept quickly worked to torpedo that. I definitely think this will happen more.
