I mean who knows what the future holds…
But why isn’t Russia a technological powerhouse…
Germany, Japan, Korea… these are not authoritarian countries, with nightmarish political systems. They ain’t perfect, but they ain’t totalitarian hellscapes either.
Just because things are going well somewhere, doesn’t mean the trajectory holds.
Iran was a beacon of progress in the East, now look at it… Brazil was poised to become a powerhouse but things fell apart.
No doubt Chinese industry has come a long way, turbo boosted by Western companies wanting a piece of the action but as the country becomes more insular, more extreme… let’s see how things go.
China’s rise was not Xi’s doing. He’s just the rich kid inheriting his Daddy’s fortune.
