What the West should do:

  • Strengthen alliances (America, Europe, India, Japan, “Altasia”)
  • Boost immigration
  • Institute industrial policy for defense

Also:

  • Belt and Road was an epic fail
  • Zero Covid was an epic fail
  • China’s reliance on the real estate sector for growth is starting to look like an epic fail
  • China is really big and that alone makes it the most powerful adversary of the United States no matter how many epic fails they come up with (not to mention the West’s own epic fails)
