For centuries? What centuries? Prior to the 18th century China's and India's economies were the largest in the world you lovely dope. It was only when both countries were invaded, then looted, territories taken where the respective countries began their drastic downfall.
Fear of this, fear of that lol as if your side are breathing with a sigh of relaxation relief. Man, you need to shut the jolly with your b..s.. Take your lovely advice where the sun don't shine.
Keep your poison, shitty advice to yourselves bro, and let China handle their own country's future. They have manage to do an excellent job so far and achievements that your Western countries failed to do when peak Covid-19 hit. Congratulations though, your Western economies are doing so well, food prices are so cheap, energy bills are the lowest in the world and are plentiful. And you folks are about to enter Moscow sometime this winter. Keep it up champ.
