It will falter some with the collapse of the US, but they’ve opened up markets in the rest of Eurasia and Africa. Still, I could predict a decline by 2060, 2080. Their empire will be shorter than the US hegemony, but they won’t be making the same mistakes as the US. Next up? India? Iran? An African confederacy? Climate catastrophe coming right around there.

The book was written in 1992. Western liberal democracy is already dying, and won't even make it 50 years after he wrote his book. It's an ideology that celebrates weakness and decay, only held aloft by banker money that is backed by nothing and only has value as long as people believe it does. The rise of China and rapid decline of the US and Europe demonstrates that liberalism is a dead-end ideology.

Sure. But look at Europe. Look at the projections of Hungary's population over the next few decades. They lose several million people without immigration. And by 2030, the European Union could fall to 12% of share of global GDP.

So, these China doomsday books are not totally wrong, they have a ton of problems in China, but look in the mirror.

Or they could really switch over to a command economy and replace labor with machines run by state-owned companies operated on a not-for-profit basis. I think that's something that could really happen.

China has a skewed gender ratio with more boys than girls because of the one child policy and boys being preferred.
The diaspora means that the men who would become incels and start trouble in China can now marry foreign women, this is also good because it increases China's influence and power projection in the world with ethnic enclaves much like Russia does in Eastern Europe.
Thanks to their political and economic system a lot of the capital made in investments abroad flows back to China.
Chinese have everything to gain from leaving their country and settling elsewhere.

China has one of the largest diasporas in the world. They can merely encourage diaspora to move back if they want. As they improve, this will become more appealing.

China is a culture with an unusual tolerance for atheism and a materialist point of view historically. I wonder if that will give them more resilience in lasting through decline. Their natural authoritarianism and collectivism may also make for a much longer Caesarism just like it did before.

Actually, this book is a far worse prediction of the future than Fukuyama.

Some highlights (courtesy of Wikipedia):
>In the 2020s and 2030s, three main powers will emerge in Eurasia: Turkey, Poland, and Japan. Initially supported by the United States, Turkey will expand its sphere of influence and become a regional power, much as it was during the time of the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish sphere of influence will extend into the Arab world, which will have increasingly fragmented by then, and north into Russia and other former Soviet countries. Israel will continue to be a powerful nation and will be the only country in the immediate region to remain outside the Turkish sphere of influence. However, Israel will be forced to come to an accommodation with Turkey due to Turkey's military and political power.
>Meanwhile, Japan will expand its economic influence to regions of coastal China, the Russian Far East, and many Pacific Islands. Friedman predicts that Japan will change its foreign policy during this time period, becoming more geopolitically aggressive, beginning a major military buildup. Friedman predicts that Japan will build military strength capable of regionally projecting power across East Asia during this time.
>Finally, Poland will continue to lead its military alliance, the "Polish Bloc." Poland and its allies will be a major power, much like the time of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Now possessing substantial military strength, Poland will expand its economic influence into what was formerly European Russia, and will begin to compete with Turkey for influence in the important economic region of the Volga River Valley. Around this time, space programs for military use will begin to emerge, and Japan and Turkey will increasingly begin to develop military capabilities in space.
>In the mid-21st century, around the year 2050, a Third World War will take place, between the United States, the "Polish Bloc", the UK, India, and China on one side, and Turkey and Japan on the other, with Germany and France entering the war in its late stages on the side of Turkey and Japan. According to the book, the war will probably be started by a coordinated Turkish-Japanese sneak attack against the United States and its allies. In the book, Friedman predicts that the attack will take place at a time in which the US will be taken completely off guard, and hypothesizes 5:00 p.m. on November 24, 2050 (Thanksgiving Day) as a potential time.

LGBT parades and such are banned because they can disrupt Chinese enterprise with by allowing a funnel for more retarded garbage like: Muh Uighur rights, which while I disapprove of communist destruction of ethnics, probably isn't as bad as over-biased anti-Chinese propaganda sounds.
