Internationally .... the U.S. has built a network of allies and partners that China does not have and that gives Washington a lot of leverage. But all things never last forever. And if the U.S. does not get its economic house in order after this pandemic, I can easily see a shift in these alliances as economic concerns within these countries drive them to form closer relations with China. We are already seeing this trend in Europe, and I predict that it will only grow with time.

Are Xi Jinping’s China And Donald Trump’s US Destined For Armed Conflict?

Democrats thought they were on the cusp of total power. They could taste it. they are angry that they did not get it in 2016. they are angrier that all the work for the past 3 years has not upset the election.
Democrats are like the aliens on Independence Day. First order of business is mutiny. Afterwards when they don't have nearly all what they want, they'll get serious about China.
I don’t see China’s economy beating the US for some time if at all. Too many factors to brings up here but China’s main issue is that it’s too aggressive and corrupt at high levels leaving few friends and a false economy. I believe they are going to experience a lot of economic pain and you can already see this in the growth charts. Political and social issues will also drag on their growth.
The number of potential allies against PRC is too great.
They also face multi fronts on their own border.
Let's not forget a fairly large % of the population who never buy into the CCPBS, leaving civil war a real possibility.
Xi will not talk big and hope for the best, a peaceful transition to democracy. Xi = Gorbachev?
It is not Donald's Trump's American in the same way it is Xi's China. Trump may be better than Reagan. It remains to be seen. First, he has to get re-elected and then rebuild the economy that Democrats destroyed. Trump may be regarded as a founder of democracy, but he doesn't own America. He certainly does not want to own it like the STASI Democrat governors.
Neither George Bush nor Trump wanted wars when they were campaigning for office, Once in office Bush was all about NAFTA, Free trade, and a good relations with Mexico.
Once solid, the George W. Bush-Vicente Fox partnership faded after 9/11
George Bush did not come into office looking for war. Neither has Trump.

Sep 3, 2001 - This week's fifth meeting between President Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox promises to be an international lovefest. Bush ...
Then some by the book Muslims attacked 8 days later.
WNU,
I disagree with you. Is China the 2nd economy of the world? All their data on GDP are fake...as everything. There is a long way to make China greater and if America is applying what it did with USSR, China will go down, not up.
As soon as Trump will be reelected he has to reintroduce the restriction of US technology with the "Final Destination" rule. I leave that during the cold war and it was very efficient.
