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.

      Unless India has a lot of US backing, in a war between India and China China would win. Looking at military budgets and equipment, China beats them in pretty much every regard. It would be a terrible war with a huge cost of human life, but the cards seem stacked against India, even India’s enormous population is only slightly bigger than china’s better educated, better organized population. I don’t think China’s industry would be decimated, they already have so much, and if a serious war starts they have the military and industry advantage over India. What they don’t have is an ally advantage, America would definitely support India if they supported anyone at all. This is all purely speculation though, of course.
