    I don’t think the “US will collapse any day now” in the way anti China propaganda uses the term collapse. But the US is in the midst of its collapse. Decline is a better word to grasp the pace that this is occuring at but i think collapse is the appropriate word for what is happening.

      That’s fair.

      It was the unipolar hegemon, and now it’s still the biggest power overall, but there are other players. And African nations etc. have a choice of who to affiliate with; the US-led West isn’t the only option.
