#1 I don't know what the future holds, but I'm sure it looked as if Germany would pass from triumph to triumph in 1938.

I think we're only at the start of the Great Crisis.

The next 10-15 years will tell the tale.

#2 With enemies all around China. Aging population with not enough replacement children being born. Extreme weather disasters. Manufacturers leaving. The paper dragon is deflating day by day.

#5 China always plays the "long game" and knows that a Trump re-election only means four more years. The problem is that some junior Chinese official will run off and "do something stupid" and precipitate a crisis.

#7 China will disappear from the world stage for 10-20 years as the Commies try to keep control with the shrinking economy and aging population.

#8 #7 yes indeed. I do see a withdrawal from the world. They do not have the dynamic leadership required to maintain current strength. A maintenance mode or self induced coma in order. However a mix of capitalism and communism might work as capitalism and socialism works in Norway. Question is could they allow such a freedom, there's the rub.

As you said: the question is freedom. See: Hong Kong. They can't/won't allow it
