Yep. I’d say we’re entering a new phase of technology and at its height, the empire probably would have been prioritizing proliferation of its tech as the solution for everybody, for the soft power of it. But the empire’s soft power is in decline like the rest of it, Trump keeps tearing up soft power like ribbon with his overt mobster ways, and so China can just step in and say, “What if you didn’t have to deal with all that bullshit? All the nasty strings attached and the rugpulls?”
