China long overtook us I think they understate by cooking the books. Their containment of covid compared to our haplessness is just incredible. US kids need to start going to Chinese colleges to learn their efficiency. Time to shed the pride and hubris.

Should be the degradation of education standards in U.S.

Are you serious? US model failing, its the Chinese model that has serious flaws, US is going from strength to strength. It a free society with free  markets unlike China where everything is rigged, where government produces fake figures and stats, where the state hides enormous debts piled up by banks and municipalities who built ghost cities. In America there is free press so one gets to see the system's warts and blemishes from time to time but it is remarkably clean compared to China, it is more dynamic and balanced than China's state controlled manufacturing export oriented economy that is artificially propped by subsidies and currency devaluation. China also hides biblical scale pollution problem, it is so bad seniors are fleeing abroad in droves because they can't breathe the toxic smog of its cities, most food grown in China is unsafe to eat because virtually all soil in China is contaminated with heavy metals so parents rush to buy foreign sourced products for their children, its rivers are choking with chemicals, and on and on. China impresses simpletons. CTGN is Chinese state owned broadcaster charged with portraying a rosy picture of China, don't fall for their puff pieces.

U.S. was regarded highly back then due to its affluent middle class, Globolaization killed and affected the U.S. middle class.
Fact is China is a rising economy because the system there was geared to take advantage of globalization.

It appears you have a problem with China pollution. China lead in green renewable energy. The amount of solar power alone is staggering. 99 % of all electric buses in world are in China. Most chinese trains are now electric fast speed- US has ZERO high speed electric speed. China is still a developing country but what it's doing it staggering. US has a few bright spots but China is doing it in massive scale. Chinese hardwork is paying. Chinese non-religiosity is paying. Chinese are taking over the world..in whatever tech you can think about.

Wake up. If it's pollution - China is dealing with head on.

Not me, Chinese citizens are. In fact the CCP's biggest fear is opposition to its rule stemming from its mishandling of the environmental catastrophe caused by its misguided push for industrialization at any cost, ignoring environmental, social or ethical aspects. Chickens are coming home to roost. They are exporting dumping their poison on the rest of the world, especially Sub Saharan African where governance is weak and the political elite are susceptible to bribery. Remember the poisoned Tilapia saga a while back in Kenya, how the Chinese arm twisted Uhuru to rescind his directive to protect Kenyans.

Those green tech stats you posted should be taken with a grain of salt. China is known for inflating its stats, they also foolishly incentivize overcapacity in their industries in a myopic push to pad their GDP, they then proceed to dump the excess capacity on the rest of the world, steel is a special case. The rest of the world retaliates with tariffs and what not.

High speed rail and those gimmicks impress unsophisticated peasants as usual. China has serious issues. The primary reason I'm betting against it is its repressive political system, eventually, one way or the other, the dam breaks, citizens rise up, undemocratic systems where people have no buy in are very unstable. Just look at Ethiopia, all the good work they did will be undone in a few months because their political system was built on quicksand. Museveni likewise, even Kagame will not last. Magufuli huffs and puffs but TZ is still stuck in gear 1. The despots you love won't leave any legacy worth speaking of. Liberal systems trump repressive systems.
