The coronavirus pandemic threatens U.S. hegemony in new, deadly ways.

It says COVID is knocking on the door of the US Hegemony and that China may replace the position as the Hegemon of the world.
How true is this?
Still changposting sport? Diddnt we do this already?
China has done nothing but shit itself in every armed conflict it's been in for five hundred years.
When US forces have engaged chinese forces (and they have), they've routinely bagged ten, twenty, even as high as forty to one casualties.
China is fundamentally unable to survive a single
week of logistics bombing, which would leave the entire country eating each other, exactly like what happens every time someone hits china, including china. A single
day of successful conventional bombing against china would do irreparable harm to their economy.
China's military is full of clowns who say shit like "america will give up if they take casualties" and "body armor makes soldiers weaker", and their navy is pitiful next to ours.
The Chinese economy has three feet in the grave and one foot on a banana peel, and has been teetering on that precipice for some time now. Their housing market is ready for a crash to make ours look like a hiccup, they've been sacrificing lucrative international business opportunities that they cant make up for on their own in the name of national pride, chasing out foreign born businessmen despite having an economy that is virtually
built on foreign business.
Oh, and anyone who believes China's official numbers of Kung Flu deaths are even in the correct order of magnitude really
needs to mail me 100 dollars, after all, you'll believe just about anything.
