China has advantages, but it cannot feed its' population, and it is just as corrupt as Russia.
In our current environment, invoking “can’t” vs. “won’t” is a cope. We have the government our people have chosen for virtually all of the last 90 years, our people have repeatedly chosen the path of failure and incompetence, and whatever potential exists in a shrinking fraction of the population is irrelevant.
“and it is just as corrupt as Russia.”
And the US politicians.
... and the US.
