Frankly, I don't see that this pandemic has made people lose faith in liberal democracy. It's a specious political argument, especially when combined with his praise of the authoritarian government in China. What other ideology does he want to give space to? Centralized control by a Chinese-style authoritarian oligarchy?
It was a question, not a pronouncement, and a wonderful topic for discussion. Myself, I don't believe they will supplant the US as the next global superpower.
They will not supplant the U.S. The Chinese build cheap electronics. But they don't have the ingenuity to write great software. It's still a rice paddy society.
Pinky, check your PM's. I sent you one two weeks ago.
