Every great empire in human civilization has fallen. China is the only one to have fallen and then gotten back up multiple times.

Like yeah China will probably fall again in the future, but the great grandchildren of everyone on this site will be long dead by then. Contrast that with America, which has had hegemony only since 1945 and already looks like it's in terminal decline.

It will fall when they abolish the state as global communism has been achieved. Unfortunately this is still well after we and our grandkids die
