That happened MANY years ago, and US elites came up with a plan to stop China by going through a shitload of wars and psy-op regime-changes - so called ‘Color-revolutions’ created by the CIA etc.

I’m just curious - you mean something like “The Grand Chessboard - American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives” (1997)? I haven’t read that yet.

But afaik they just fucking slept on China and that few of the regime change done in the last few 3 decades were aimed at it. Like they helped it get into the WTO and somehow they thought it would just become another neoliberal country that can be bought and controlled.

I clearly see how the “unipolar moment” led to regime change aimed at the middle east and eastward EU and nato expansion of their vassal states, but I don’t see how that affects China.

In any case yeah, China ran away and it’s pretty much over for US global supremacy, especially as they double down on not investing into their people: “In total, China now leads in 66 of the 74 technologies tracked, with the United States leading in the remaining eight” https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical-technology-tracker-2025-updates-and-10-new-technologies/
