Maybe someone still believing in the superiority of the west, which clearly we don’t have a monopoly on anymore, China has caught up, exactly as Japan and Korea have done before China.
I genuinely is curious to see the exact same propaganda rolled out against China that Americans deployed against the other Eastern Rim industrial states. India is, similarly, getting a ton of this treatment.
The big difference between China and India/Japan/Korea is the failure of the Chinese government to placidly ingest western neoliberal economic policy and stagnate their economies for a decade as a result.
