    Not only China, my friends, not only China.

    Maybe it is even the other way round: it’s only the US which does not see the US in decline.

      As an American, it’s not that uncommon for people here to think America is in decline. The corpo media and most politicians will never admit it, but there is no metric in which average citizen does not see things getting worse.

      The main difference is that most Americans lack the global perspective to realize how serious and permanent this decline is. They don’t understand that things will never return to how they used to be.
