I’d put my money on them inarguably being the dominant superpower within 20 years.
As yes, because the true sign of a rising superpower is having to park tanks in front of their banks to keep people from making runs on them.
Anyone who still believes China will rise after Covid ruined their good will is a fool. They are surrounded on all sides by enemies, who combined have larger military forces with better equipment than they do (and that is before you get the US involved, since it seems like that may be questionable over the next few years).
China may have more STEM students, but it means fuck all if their quality is garbage. And their construction they do is [absolutely abysmal garbage designed to be cheap]. For Gods sake, they managed to make ISLANDS SINK. Meanwhile, American engineers continue to be quality in pretty much every location outside of a handful of politically extreme places like Portland and New York.
The US is stumbling right now, make not mistake. But this will be our century yet again, or we will die trying.

They are looking likely to suffer a famine, while also lying about their grain stockpiles. They are suffering from debt that makes the US look financially sound. As for the manufacturing, that is leaving, and the US itself is seeing industrial rebounds.
