      Many reasons. America seems to be declining and China seems to be rising. Its actually scary for me since I live in Europe and i prefer America to China, but the future is uncertain.

      China is intelligent and America is not, currently.

        If they’d get off their asses and invent anything, we might. They plagiarized themselves into modernity. If it weren’t for the US they’d be spending the 21st century dying of smallpox by candlelight. Without them we’d recall fewer products for heavy metal contamination.
