There's so much optimism in the US recovering because of the vaccine. Not saying it won't happened but they said recovering from like recessions usually took 2-3 years but that wasn't the case for the 2008 Western Financial Crisis. After a decade some believe the US still hadn't recovered. Why? They said it was because before the only game in town was the US and in part, the West. So when there were recessions, money just moved into different sectors of the US economy. What made 2008 different was it wasn't just the US and the West. There were more places around the world for people to keep their money safe like China or other countries that made money from China. That's why recovery took longer than usually. Today it's happening again and with much more money. The US maybe trying to cut-off technology to China but for some reason tons of cash from the US financial sector is pouring into China. Believing the US will recover quickly just rolls off the tongue so easily like how the US thought it would be number one in handling a pandemic. You hear pundits saying as the US recovers, China will slow down because of there will not be a need for pandemic based goods like PPE and electronics for working from home. The same excuse you're hearing when they said China's economy was going to collapse from Trump's trade war and then when it didn't happen as predicted, they just moved the goals posts and set another time further down the line would be when China collapses and yet still no collapse.
