    Honestly, I think its more likely that China becomes the dominant power in Asia and perhaps eastern Europe (some might say they already are). Even then, I think that there would be exceptions (namely India, Japan and South Korea).

      Yeah I think we are actually going to move into a dual great power world, rather than one being dominant over the other. I’m still deeply deeply worried about a war between the two powers. As I said, tensions between great powers and rising great powers almost never end well.

      I’m more scared than ready to laugh at neoliberals, if I’m being frank.

        Those are completely valid feelings.

        That being said, the United States gets so many products from China and China gets a lot of business from the United States. That right there makes me think this will not be the same as The Cold War.

            Another reason why I don't think that a direct military conflict between the United States and China is likely is that, realistically speaking, China does not have as strong of a military as America. This is not to mention that America's allies, overall, are much stronger than China's allies.
