America have dams failure too with one that happened in 2020. I been to both America and China. The infrastructure in the US are in such a bad shape compare to China. I think Americans should not be a frog in the well. Travel more and you realise how good China infrastructure is. Even their 2nd tier and 3rd tier cities are better than New York. The only people who thinks America infrastructure are better than China are the ones who do not travel. Even Japan and South Korea and Singapore are ahead of America.

Because US market have the liquidity. Thats all.

South East Asia will unite when facing a stronger common enemy.

Its just that America is not as strong as many Americans think they are. In fact in Asia, many would rather welcome Chinese than Americans as Americans no longer have the wealth. They also rather choose Chinese companies to build infrastructure for them. Not because its cheap, but its quality as well. America have nothing to show for except military. This is why their common folks are suffering.

In the past China is weak. Now China is extremely strong and wealthy to challenge US in infrastructure and tech. China may still be behind US in tech, but they are ahead in infrastructure. America have been complacent for far too long as a world power and have to accept that the world have 3 world powers now. US, China and South East Asia countries combined.

Many US stocks are almost "zero" too since 2021 highs.

Not as awful as other governments. US government? Nah. They did nothing to upgrade basic infrastructure for the people but spend trillions in war. Look at US subway. Dated and filthy. China government spending on building infrastructure for the people. You dont even need umbrellas because of sheltered walkways being built by the government.

Nothing more fake than US stocks market propped up by money printing
