“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”
—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)

China will stop subsidizing the US when they have the ability to run a closed economy.
They have been doing this to build out their infrastructure and all they have to do is start paying the workers a wage that will allow them to purchase the goods that they produce.
This is not going to continue forever.
It is all mute anyway because of the depletion of cheap energy.
The only reason that the US is still in control is because of military superiority and that is it.
