The USA is no longer a serious country. It chases quarterly profits, entertainment, and has no real desire to help the middle class.
China is ascending and is pursuing a long game strategy to become #1 within a generation. They are creating a middle class for productivity and prosperity.
When you step back and take an honest look, both nations have an entrenched ruling class based on business and family connections. Those with the right connections get wealth and power, everyone else has to scrape out an existence with little help. One lets you pretend that you can become an oligarch someday if you work hard, the other gives the masses some nice things so that life is more bearable. Essentially, the USA and China are the same. One population foolishly believes itself to be free while the other strives to fly under the radar. Both love propaganda and slurp the pablum up like good little drones.
We are no where near the same.
