Hopefully not, we have rough patches in our history and rebuilt. It would be better for everyone if we just acknowledged the reality and tried to constructively be part of it.

So I am an Australian living in a small tourist town in Cambodia.

We are currently having a large influx of baby boomers from Europe, UK, the USA and Australia.

I was reading today, in the Bangkok Post, that Thailand is also seeing an increase in retired Europeans entering Thailand.

China is increasing liquidity to its people hoping to boost the internal markets within China.

Less Chinese are moving into Asean countries.

Over 1000 Chinese workers have been arresting in Cambodia alone in the past week. Arrested for working in online scamming. Thailand arrested about 200.

My point being is that the spending power of the Chinese is lowering while the pensioned up baby boomers are taking their place.

Although the western government leaders are ruining their own economies the people in western countries are going to become a major revenue raising device for the global south.

Until America rejects the Discovery Doctrine and Manifest Destiny mindset, we are in trouble. Since 2022, China has been retaining and attracting more talent than America. In 2024, China has 32,511 leading scientists compare to our 31,781, and it is increasing. The BRICs+ has expanded to 10 members and 10 partners members with over $1 trillion in intra BRICs+ trade. The global majority is breaking away from the West. Soon, we in America will be isolated into a large island only. Not long after this event, America may start to break apart as the states fight for the shrinking pie as the cheap labor evaporates.
