I admire and respect Ray Dalio, who suggests that China will replace the US as the next great superpower.
It's dangerous to disagree with someone as smart & successful as Ray, but I'll try.
Conventional wisdom is that China will blast past the USA to become
the new superpower.

In this video, I debunk that prediction.
Although China has many good things going for it and will undoubtedly get stronger this century, it has two things that will slow its dramatic rise down:

1. China's authoritarian/totalitarian tendencies will invite a Chinese revolution against the communist party.

2. China's demographics. That's what this video is about.
I examine Pew Research's 8-point report on China's demographics.
