Yeah, because it's patently obvious that the US is in terminal decline, while China is going to be the worlds foremost economic and manufacturing power for at least the rest of the century. Even TSMC has facilities and employees in mainland China now.

It sure doesn't seem like anyone in US intelligence is taking into consideration the fact that they have multiple major military debacles/proxy wars going on rn and are winning exactly zero of them. There's never been a worse time to throw in with the US. I guess in their heads they've just written it all off as not being the US' fault and just assume everybody else will believe that too.
