I do know that we're on the cusp of a great epoch of change that civilization is forward being propelled by AI technology.

 The government of China is divided from the business and cultural people of China.  It is spelling disaster for the Chinese business and trade, since the government claims their profits.  Moreover, American business is poised to enter China in a big way, including McDonalds.

If there's anything the West under US leadership can do now to bring the people of China closer to the West, it would lead to a period of splendor and plenty of years, Centuries of fruit blossoms!

My opinion.
