You mean, if the United States falls from "number one in innovation" to "number two in innovation", whatever those numbers are even supposed to mean? The US, with a population of 330 million, is not going to just fall off the face of the Earth. We've got plenty of talent and resources.

Actually, the US is currently engaged in genocide... of its own population, sadly. Or maybe we should call it suicide.

What genocide, exactly? Also, China is expansionist -- do you think they don't want more power, influence and resources? Why do you think they annexed Hong Kong?

Letting COVID get out of control, due to our complete disregard for the value of human life.

China didn't "annex" Hong Kong. The UK simply handed Hong Kong over to them because of some dumb century-old "lease".
