How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?
I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.
I would like to hope no one nation is the future. Replacing one global hegemony with another is not my idea of progress.
I'm onboard with Wales. Let Wales rule for a bit.
Oh my, I can't even begin to imagine what a Texan or Creole Welsh accent would sound like if that was the international language! ๐ตโ๐ซ

I'm sorry, what was your question
No thanks, replacing one imperialist for another won't help the world.
Still hoping for that future that's borderless and red and queer and bold.
We'll get there.
As an Indian, I think they seem more well-planned and more decent than recent USAmerica.
India and China does have border issues, but I do respect them as I agree with their leftist view of reducing poverty and improving literacy. I think our countries could come to decent compromise there.
Also, the communism aspects.
But saying that a single country is the future is too simple.
And even the Chinese seem to be not emulating America to be an empire.
I think their aim is a multi-polar world. Atleast if the random yt vids I saw are proper representations.
I think it's pretty clear that despite Trump's attempts to revitalize US manufacturing, the US won't be able to outpace China's industrial growth even if they hard pivot. China is, like it or not, almost certainly the next Global Hegemon as the US' grip on the world is falling. Western Europe won't be able to oppose it either.
I think Chinese citizens are generally hopeful for their country, but more than anything I think most of their citizens would want everyone to advance. I don't think any doubt that China will surpass the US.
In many ways, China already has surpassed the US.
For sure. However, the PRC is still a developing countrt, while the US is a declining Empire. The US has farther to fall and China further to rise, especially in the next 1-2 decades.
