This is really perplexing. Western experts with degrees from the Ivy league(meaning they're really smart and honest) told me for decades that China and Russia were due to collapse any year now. Economic collapse was just around the corner and soon the people there would rise up and embrace Mcdonalds, blacked porn and rap.

They told me that manufacturing was like so 1950 and financial trickery was the economy of the future. I just don't get this, what is happening to the world?

They're projecting. The West is collapsing.

    The decades following western decline will see the stagnation of technological development

    It will be much worse than that.

    they would have achieved none of this without western technological exchange

    Oh fuck off. China has been around longer than every empire in the west by merit of their cohesion and ingenuity. They will be fine without us and will outlast every Western empire and society just like they did in the past.

      The han race have never been noted for producing high technology, their political systems last a few centuries devolving into mediocrity before an outsider rapes them and proclaims a new dynasty.

      Lmao okay. Nordicists are delusional- out of curiosity how the fuck would you describe the pale savages that Rome curb stomped into submission? Did those Germanics actually secretly invent the compass, printing, paper, and gunpowder?

        I know. That's fine- I'm not downplaying whitey, I'm saying calm the fuck down when asserting technological dominance. You didn't invent even close to everything. The East and the West are very different places with different strengths and weaknesses.
