Oh my! What a “leading question”. I’ll bet all the trolls came out on this one, eh?
Let’s try to answer this question REASONABLY.
[Basic point herein]
A “future” is a personal perspective. A Summer with a lot of rain will make the farmer happy, but will really upset the football player.
No one can really answer that question for you.
You have to take your personal perspective, and then frame how you live your life relative to your projected needs and desires.
[What the future looks like]
Both China and the United States will exist in the future. Even if there is a catastrophic war, both will continue to exist simply due to their enormous size.
But both nations are on different trajectories based upon their structure, their leadership and the composition of their individual societies.
[The United States]
We can expect that (barring significant course corrections) the United States will evolve and develop in the following directions…
Greater freedoms and even privileges for LGBT+ individuals.
Higher inflation rates.
Substantial changes in the use of the USD and banking systems.
Changes in the structure of urban life, and alterations to rural life.
Continued stratification of society resulting in zero middle class and great disparity.
Continued balkanization of general society creating enclaves of closed communities.
[China]
Increased growth of the middle class.
An expansion of public spaces, and utility access.
Continued technological advancements.
Continued expansion of the manufacturing base.
An integration of global society resulting in a “melting pot” of respected cultures.
Breakthroughs at all levels to include electronics, AI, technology, and space exploration.
[Conclusion]
I envision that the United States will continue to be the nation of choice for the wealthy, stockbrokers, finance, banking, and related professions. Such as attorneys, accountants, and tech specialists. I can also see possibilities for real estate speculators, and opportunities in the social and medical fields.
I see great opportunities in China, for technical specialists, family businesses, craftsmen, workers of all types, factory and manufacturing experts, and people involved in the sciences.
As I see it, the bifurcated evolution of the world will offer great opportunities for the self-directed individual no matter what your background, or interests lie. the future looks great. Don’t get caught up in the neocon fantasies and doom and gloom of the selfish. The future is quite bright.
