Q: How do you see the situation between China and the US in the near future?
A:
China’s development has passed a threshold that the US is unable to hold back. We will see China continue to rise and the US continue to decline.
The situation is very similar to how the US took over Britain as the superpower.
In 1913, Ford invented the assembly line. Britain was still more advanced than the US in science and technology, but the US had a far more advanced production power, largely due to its management of production. Cars were cheap and plentiful in the US. From 1916 to 1926, within 10 years, the US built a network of interstate highways. The US had a higher production power than Britain. After World War II, the US replaced the UK and became the superpower.
From 2009 to 2019, in ten years, China built a high-speed railway network, just as the US took ten years to build an interstate highway system. The US today is more advanced than China in AI, data, algorithms, and computational power. But it is China that implemented AI, data, algorithms, and computational power into the real economy, just like the UK had all the advanced technology, but it was the US that made the large-scale car production. The US had an assembly line that enabled large-scale car production. China has socialism with Chinese characteristics, which has organized the economy into a full-blown explosion.
If you visited Ford’s assembly line, you had a sense of how the assembly line works. If you travel to China, you can see all the amazing things, but you can never figure out how China achieves this.
What? Socialism with Chinese characters? It was a public talk in China for a decade, but the West only perceives it as a communist, totalitarian, suppressive, evil government, etc. The West cannot see the open secret of China, which has been propagated in China. They interpreted what happened in China as a power struggle for control of the Communist Party of China.
Is an assembly line a total control and totalitarian? Yes, you cannot use democracy to produce cars. How many democratic car makers allow workers to vote on which parts should be mounted at what position in the car? If you are OK with company management, why is it not OK for a county to manage its economy?
China has shifted into a new paradigm of economy, the new quality production power. China has a system that enables the AI, data, algorithms, and computing power to ignite an AI revolution. In 2013, Germany conceptualized Industrial Revolution 4.0. In 2025, China implemented Industrial Revolution 4.0. China makes this happen with Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.
The new economy needs a new paradigm. The West cannot have Industrial Revolution 4.0 because it has no new paradigm.
China will dominate the US on all fronts. The US hegemony will be gone for good.
