Historically the fall of empires were caused by economic, social and cultural issues.

or perhaps China is being portrayed as the new cold war enemy by a falling empire clutching at straws?

Agreed that blockchain technology is a game changer. But (in its current application at least) the word cryptocurrency is a misnomer. Bitcoin, Ethereum and some 2000 others calling themselves currencies, will only become currencies when employers start paying their employees therein. Until...

And that is just fine. No country should enforce themselves on other. One just need to look at all the misery caused by countries doing just that to realise it.

During the past hundred years, Chinese rulers have been guilty of gross human rights violations. Their current leaders are however again embracing a phylosophy of empathy, which has been part of the Chinese culture for over two thousand years prior to Mao. Change does not happen overnight and...
