How many more years will it take, before China takes over the U.S.?

I believe it will be after us Boomers are all gone, and most of Gen X. The Gen Z kids will
welcome them with open arms for a while, because their basic necessities will be met.
But in time, they will realize their massive mistake, and long for the days of conservatism.

Thats a fair estimate. The points to be made are that this wont be an overnight thing. Its a creeping process, and on several fronts. The $US as the reserve currency;the international debt of the US;its reliance on Chinese components to keep its remaining manufacturing going; Chinese equity in existing American businesses and line items like the price of oil, which American slowness to innovate on will remain a vulnerable chokepoint. The Chinese will pick the moment when they feel strong while the US looks vulnerable..😷
