Sure...Once you lose your position as the top industrial power, it's all downhill from there. It's only a matter of time before China surpasses United States.
It's the best-kept secret in the economics media: The United States is on the brink of a period of solid, long-term growth rivaling that of the 1950s and 1960s. It is not a finance-driven, self-destructive boom, like the 2000s' housing bubble. No, the new economy will be durably grounded in energy and heavy manufacturing, even though it will take several years to come to full fruition.
Dude. All that counts is that the Chinese will catch up and beat the US in the end.
No way that the US would grow at anywhere near the 8% a year that China is doing.
Share of US in world GDP has fallen from 50% at the end of WW2 to around 20% now. It is falling as we speak.
US's time of dominance is over.
In fact, China did conduct a second test of hypersonic glider in January 19, and this time is closer to Mach 20.
For sure, US won't report the second test, otherwise the damage control would be too big.
For this humiliation, US did hack China's civilian netword in January 21 for pure political retaliation.
This technology renders US ABM defences completely obsolete.
They are upset that the tens of billions they have invested in the system has been rendered useless.
Chance of complete world dominance shattered again.
The hypersonic glider reaching the speed of Mach 20 is absolutely frightening.
The Mach 20 will reach a blackout zone, thus it cannot be detected by any radar, so forget about to lock it down.
A hypersonic glider has no routine flight trajectory like an ICBM, thus its trajectory is almost unpredictable.
And China's hypersonic glider has a low cost boaster, it only needs to be boasted by the shorter ranged ballistic missile like DF-15 or DF-21.
With the hypersonic glider technology, China has tremendously expanded its global strike capability in both nuclear and conventional.
Before China can only conventionally target Taiwan with 3000 ballistic missiles, but now it can target the amount globally with both nuclear and conventional. The balance is broken now.
China is showing that it is really serious about taking on the US as a peer.
JL-2, DF-31A, DF-41 and now this hypersonic glider will mean that the US would not dare mess with China as China has the power to obliterate the US completely from the world map.
USA is now targeting to hack China's civilian network.
Considering with such low class behavior, you can see how pissed off the US really is.
BTW, the ICBMs such as DF-31A/JL-2/DF-41 still only push China on par with US in the traditional strategic weapon domain.
While the hypersonic glider is something absolutely revolutionary, it is cheaper and far more deadly than the traditional ICBM.
Damn...You must be stroking with both hands.This technology renders US ABM defences completely obsolete.
They are upset that the tens of billions they have invested in the system has been rendered useless.
Chance of complete world dominance shattered again.
That is funny considering how much you guys cheered on how and why China 'hacked' US, everything from Lockheed to electricity stations. But now it is revealed that we did to China, it is 'low class behavior'?USA is now targeting to hack China's civilian network.

You claimed to have at least an education in economics, and yet you persists on making those ridiculous assertions. You either not have read the article or may be you are not as well versed in economics as you claimed. If the latter, may be you should stay out of economics the way you stayed out of physics.Next time quote Gordon Chang, his yearly prediction of China will collapse will help you further your point. Or Fox news.
American manufacturing is done, even when Chinese manufacturing declines, it won't go to the US, it would go to ASEAN and South Asia, then it will go to Africa.
I'm not an expert on physics and the like so I try to stay clear of those discussions, I seen your posts, your understanding of the economy and politics is well, amusing.
Yes. China can spend far less of it's resources on strategic ballistic missiles.
Money saved can be spent on expanding the Chinese Navy as the stranglehold that the US had over the world's oceans needs to be broken for the greater good of mankind.
Have you guys started mining other planets/asteroids? and figured out warp drive??
Budget and priorities. But at least we have the plans.Have you guys started mining other planets/asteroids? and figured out warp drive??
