China to Leapfrog US Projected 2028?

[35years]

Are you sure? China is a Communist country, but I think you ought to look more into Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and what Deng did and what Xi is doing. Also Singapore, which administers their economy in a near identical way, just without the Communist trappings. Their brand of authoritarian capitalism is obscenely successful and shows zero signs of stopping and the concern is that that's what's going to replace liberal capitalism, not Communism or Fascism or whatever 20th century thing everyone is still afraid of.

I take a larger view.

Governments, rulers, powers fall if they do not respect human rights and natural law.

Communist governments, especially China do not respect human rights, especially religious freedom.

God is in charge.

Not directed at you, but I truely feel pity for those who deny His existence. They are in for a huge surprise.

Now I will yeald to the God haters and deniers on the forum. May God have mercy on them and reveal to them they are His beloved children.

All people have some concept of "God" built in, whether you believe it is a spiritual thing, or an undeniable subconscious logical conclusion. If they fail to acknowledge the all powerful creator, they are apt to replace Him with earthly authorities.

That's why we have people fearing a virus that is mostly only lethal to people who were almost already dead, and most other people don't know they had it. Their earthly gods tell them it is so, who are they to argue?

All Governments, rulers and powers fall ... period.

I'm not sure whether respecting human rights, especially religious freedom is a pre-requisite for a long term and successful continuous reign.
My life's experiences ... both materialistic and spiritual, leads me to believe that religion, in whatever form it takes, is very important for the individual. Consequently, the government/ruler is going to be stronger and longer if 'it' respects and understands the spiritual needs of the people it rules over.

Now. the challenge is to understand the differences, if any, between your stated beliefs and my stated beliefs.

Or having inside information.

Definitely ... that's what I was trying to express with the 'right knowledge'.

I take, inside information, to mean knowledge of coming needs so that 'investments' that capitalizes and supports and effort without any in-depth knowledge of the subject matter.

I believe in God, the Father almighty...

Maybe I'm missing something but what you or I 'think' is irrelevant.

I believe in the Father and Son and The Holy Ghost in case you are interested in that unrelated bit of knowledge.
Also, I personally think all three are One ... the Trinity is just our perceptions of One Almighty.

The reality of the Trinity (three persons in one God) is not dependent on our perception. God's existence is not restricted by misguided relativism.

Yes, what we "think" or "believe" is irrelevant to the reality of God, but it is what is most relevant to our own life.

I think we are in substantial agreement, unless you are asserting that man's relationship with the Triune God is unrelated to how man's relationships (political, economic etc.) with other men (individual and collective) play out.

All aspects of man's life are impacted by his relationship with God.
