In the previous part of this series, I wrote about two more characteristics of failing or failed nation sates- namely, an inability to build and maintain new infrastructure and whether the ruling class in those places identifies with and is beholden to some other nation/ organization.
If you saw the videos of failing infrastructure, collapsing building, housing bubbles, massive governmental corruption and indifference (at all levels), and their glorious leader forcing a cult of personality on the country second only to North Korea in its ridiculousness, inspiring people to commit revenge attacks on society in the form of mass vehicular homicide as the method of choice, as portrayed on the Youtube channels of serpetza and laowai86, you'd promptly take China off the list of successful nations.
In a country of over 1.4 billion people, this sort of stuff happens once in a while. However once you compare those few instances to widespread decay of infrastructure in countries such as USA, UK etc- it is obvious who is in decline.
As far as economics is concerned, China is taking the right path of discouraging financialism- which is why western "experts" don't like them. On almost every single criteria and measure, China is doing far better than declining countries such as USA, UK etc- and you can see it.
YTers such as serpetza and laowai86 etc are paid and promoted to fake and lie by anonymous western donors and NGOs who front for three letter agencies. Pretending something is true does not change reality- and the declining west now has only empty propaganda to fool its own people.
Agreed the West is going down the crapper, The Dr. Day lectures indicated that this was the plan to the elites to downgrade First World countries to Third World levels. Brand new infrastructure like bridges would collapse, etc.
In China, this occurrence is so commonplace it's not even considered newsworthy. EVs catching fire and blowing up? Check. 10-storey high rises built in a day only to collapse later? Check. Shoddy construction all around, people cutting corners and contractors pocketing people's money and then abandoning the project.
Ditto for South Korea; it's a Third World country with the veneer of a First World country. The Sampoong shopping mall collapse is one famous example of greed and incompetence, but to be fair during the construction boom in the 80s and 90s and lot of buildings were built that way.

Arjun, do you think the novavax is safe?
Not my name, but let me try to answer your question.
If a product is not effective, does it matter if it is safe or unsafe?
Let’s say one has to get virtue vaxed for, say, their job at a university…
Are they still asking for it in India? Are they that stupid? On second thought.. very likely.
Novavax is safer than mRNA based vaccines, but it is equally useless.
Did you get virtue vaxxed or did you buy a card off someone and pass it as your own?
There are ways of getting around everything.. if you are willing.
The ole religious exemption, eh?
