INTERNATIONAL ORDER
The rise of China
The decline of the United States
The vulnerability of Western alliances
The emboldened and hostile rogue nations
The turmoil caused by the Arab Awakening
The horror and ruthlessness of the Mexican Drug Cartels
The collusion between terrorist and transnational crime networks
The lawlessness and weaponization of cyberspace
The advancements in nano, bio, and quantum technologies
The cognitive awakening of robots
The corrupted and inept societal institutions
The oligarchical hegemony
The decimated middle class
The blight of generational poverty
The depleted potable water supplies
The destructive weather patterns
The rampant pandemic viruses
And all the rest of the rot…IT TOOK ONLY ONE UNFORESEEN EVENT TO OBLITERATE THE ORDER
AND INCITE CHAOS AND DISASTER ON A GLOBAL SCALE
Economies and governments collapse
Mass violence and wars erupt
Civility is abandoned
Autocracies thrive
Democracies fail
Hope is lost
DYSTOPIA RISES
who are the heroes
the heroes of dystopia
who will rise the dawn

My sincerest apologies. That was a poorly written response of mine and as I reread it I find how rude it sounds.
The question was supposed to refer to your response regarding China. Not to whether you disagree it’s a work of fiction. My fault completely for the misunderstanding.
That said, do you disagree that China’s rise is a threat to the current world order? :)

The rise and fall of super powers, does change the dynamics of the world. For better or for worse, that remains to be seen. I’m not competent to make a political opinion, but you’re right that China is rising, China is a waking dragon, says the content of my blog, my lenovo laptop, and my Huawei cellphone… :)

As do just about all items in my local Walmart superstore. And I’m guessing all the smaller countries they are currently in competition for resources with throughout the South China Sea. :)
