My standard comment on this is:

“China is very good at building dams, the US is very good at enforcing PC. Which country will dominate the 21st century?”

One reason the West can not effectively challenge China is that the West has lost its liberalism and far worse, its effectiveness.. Like it not, the West is now authoritarian and (worse), self abnegating.

The question to be answered is which system, Western style democracy or CCP centralized control, provides an environment more compatible with human nature? To meet political and social agendas, other centralized authoritarian regimes have tried to bend human nature with catastrophic results for those governed and a good portion of the rest of the world.
