I've accepted that this is the end of the American empire and its time to learn Mandarin. No point in fighting the inevitable, may as well accept China as the world authority as the world currency is about to become the yuan.

Agreed. I've already started taking classes myself.

I’m not learning mandarin but I’ve accepted it.
They literally started a pandemic that’ll cause 7 maybe 8 figure deaths by eating bats, and somehow their relative power in the world is going up from it. We can’t win unless we go to war with them or sth.

You wrote that yourself? wow congrats dude, really, that's very cool. i just told everyone in my family about it, everybody thinks that's very impressive and asked me to congratulate you. they want to speak to you in person, if possible, to give you their regards. they also said they will tell our distant relatives in christmas supper and in NYE they will ignite fireworks that spell your name. i also told about this enormous deed to closer relatives, they had the same reaction. they asked for your address so they can send congratulatory cards and messages. my friends didn't believe me when i told them i knew the author of this gigantic feat, really, they were dumbstruck, they said they will make your name echo through years and years to come. when my neighbour found out about what you did, he was completely dumbstruck too, he wanted to know who you are and he asked (if you have the time, of course) if you could stop by to receive gifts, congratulations and handshakes. with the spreading of the news, a powerful businessman of the area decided to hire you as the CEO of his company because of this tremendous feat and at the same time an important international shareholder wants to sponsor you to give speeches and teach everybody how to do as you did so the world becomes a better place. you have become famous not only here but also everywhere, everybody knows who you are. the news spread really fast and mayors of all cities are setting up porticos, ballons, colossal boom speakers, anything that can make your name stand out more and see which city can congratulate you the hardest for this magnificent feat.

China's heading for a demographic crisis in the 2050s. They're doing fine at the moment with a large working-age population, few pension-aged people and not too many kids to take care of.
Now there are16 retirees per 100 workers. It's estimated to be 64 retirees per 100 workers by 2050.

There will be little need for workers in 2050.
