    The US core issue is poverty and if it wants to demonstrate to the rest of a media savvy world that its economic/political system is the best in the world, then it has to take 30 million of its citizens out of poverty. Before corvid-19 there was over 30 million on food stamps and now, who knows?

    The ongoing civil unease on US city streets is more about poverty and/or e threat of poverty than it is about racism, IMO. It just happens that
    blacks, hispanics and native Indians are poor as per the above link.

    To the 3rd World, China is demonstrating that its system is gaining traction on eliminating poverty albeit at the expense of personal freedoms.

    The US Stock market is about te size of the US GDP ( about $22 Trillion) with 10% of the US population owning 80% of this either directly or indirectly.

    China is generating billionaires at a much higher rate than that of the USA and it will be interesting to see how long it takes the CCP to
    "adjust" this !
