il be honest I feel like this video could have been way better, it does not fully take into consideration the full decline of the USA or how the Chinese with it's bad male to female demografics actually lend itself towards expansionism and war in order to give purpose to young men without any wives or purpose since fighting in some glorieus propaganda inspired war is something many males would be interested in which we even see in the west to a much lesser extend. also the minor spelling errors like ww2 instead of ww1 in some bits were annoying and should have been polished better in my opinion.

doubt the west can copy that, they don't have the same level of controle as China has. I would also say that having a large male population is a good resource for starting wars, also automation is going to be the future so most people are going to end up being cannon fodder anyways.

from what I've seen China could very easily take the island using stealth, secrecy, carefull planning and overwelming numbers before the USA gets there in time. though to be fair, I do think the Chinese are going to sit back and wait for the best moment to strike, they aren't just going to take Taiwan out of the blue, either internal issues forces them to make some sort of move to distract the public or they wait for another conflict internal or external to the USA to distract them. looking at the USA it would not suprise me if the USA had a civil war and China using the chance to take Taiwan if not go even further and try and have north korea invade south korea, invade Bhutan or Nepal or any of the stan nations with Mongolia to try and gobble up as much as they can, in a way with India all they would have to do is Isolate India and cut off it's water supply and then they can turn it into a Indian puppet, esspecialy if there is no US backup. of course the way im saying this sounds like it's very easy, it's not it's dependent on many things to line up perfectly for China but long term I think China can wait long enough to make it happen, the communist party is not going to collapse and if they can just maintain their own vision against a declining and stagnating USA then they will be presented with that chance sooner rather than later.

I've heard the line ''China is going to collapse soon'' so often it's just not very convincing anymore, China can take the demografic loss of some workers or people and would be able to implement harsh changes to it's government to try and raise birthrates or get people to move to China or at the very least make the practice of ''buying'' wives for it's male population easier, they could also invade new lands to enhance their national pride as well as simply invest in automation to get the same level of production they have no with lower labour force, in many ways China is ahead in these fields than most western nations. China is not going to be the world's super power like the USA is, the world is changing to a multipolar world and the USA with it's expensive military just won't be able to maintain it's world order the way it used to in the past, both on a real basis as well as a moral and cultural one, people are more disengaged and disinterested in the USA by the year and more and more nations and cultures are looking at themselfs or lending it's cultural values from other parts of the world, the USA still dominates in terms of military spending and certain industries but from what i've seen the decline is very real.

15:22 im sorry but Russia easily flipping to be a US ally is beyond parody, Russia is isolated and somewhat weak compared to other much smaller nations in terms of economics, it's full of corruption and authoritarian leaders, they are just not going to backstab their potential greatest ally unless attacked directly by China in the first place which even then they might bow and let them have certain parts if that's what it takes to keep them as allies, China knows this and would only do this if it had secured all other parts of it's security issue. at best China would get too close to Russia if it invaded Mongolia or any of the stan nations but that would just make Russia uncomfortable and not worry about an invasion.

possible but when you have 1.6 billion people why invade anyone else? other nations come to you to attack you because you are a threat to them just by existing.

I think that's a very simplistic and wrong way of looking at it, China also gets immigration just not the kind the USA has to the same degree, however the USA still gets a lot of immigration that won't work in new key industries, a minority of people fill that role, that's just the way it works. like if population growth was the main marker of economic growth and military power China, India and Nigeria would be the world's superpowers right now, not the USA.

the USA in a wargame with Sweden found it's carrier hit by a single Swedish submarine, which you can imagine was an electic diesel engine, had the hit been powerfull torpedo it could have sunk an aircraft carrier or at least damage it pretty bad and that's just 1 sub, imagine hundreds of those things, while air and land to sea missiles bombard your ships? the USA navy is very impressive, it' carriers are the best in the world but they are there for 1 main reason. Project power around the globe, for this they are perfect however in a defensive war against China they would not be very usefull and could get bombed or attacked by subs, losing those would be a huge moral shock and loss for the USA. now does that mean they are useless? no and the USA knows their weakness and so would likely keep them in the back or with plenty of screen ships and counter subs as well as mines to try and keep them safe but that limits the main use of their navy by a lot, it's not a position the USA would want to be in for long.
