1) For once most people in the west have access to safe and good tap water.Chinese urban dwellers dont.

Chinese middle class will demand the same standard of living like people in the West and CCP will be unable to give it to them.
The US became a super power in the last 200 years...and the focus should be maintaining our competitive edge and working where there will be benefit.

If someone happened to agree with this analysis and was bearish on western liberalism, is there a place they should put their money in order to potentially profit?
No, there isn't. The best you could do is disassociate from any criticisms you have made about CCP. Better yet, start a pro-CCP newsletter in substack, and hope for the best.
While we argue about right/left/dem/republican they continue to divide and conquer through attrition. And we are letting it happen right under our collective noses.

The west is in decline because progressive values don't promote strength. They focus on class and are inherently divisive. Ironically, they only blossom in strong societies.
