A few good takes, but China becoming the dominant global power? Not a good take.

China is fairly good at a few things, namely lending money and manufacturing goods.

What they aren’t good at is making people happy. See Hong Kong for the last 6 months.

I don’t think the United States is becoming increasingly isolationist. I think we’ve seen a brief period of these attitudes, but it’s not indicative of the next decade imo.

And the author seems to think China will be able to rapidly adapt to change, pointing to global warming.

China is the world’s worst source of pollution. I don’t think they’re going to 180, especially since their economy is built on it.
