Until the people in corrupt countries are storing their wealth in Yuan and not dollars, the US is still in control of the biggest prize. There is a reason that the richest people in the world (especially the Chinese) spend a lot of time and effort getting some large fraction of their wealth into western jurisdictions, and in particular Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions (UK, USA, Canada, Australia). Those places have the longest history of respecting the rule of law and property rights(Switzerland excepted). How long can a political system last when a huge fraction of the wealthiest people living in it are afraid of it?
