The "China will take over the world" meme will fizzle out in the 2020s for many combined factors, and this is another one.

This is correct. This is also how we beat China. Right now, our QOL is objectively better. Literally advertise living in the USA to China's upper-middle class, and 1 million+/year move here. Once they start losing their new consumer base, China might start to change some of their ways.

There's absolutely no need to do any advertising. Virtually everyone in China with any significant amount of wealth is buying real estate in the U.S., or Canada, Australia, or other western countries. So many, in fact, that many governments have restricted real estate sales to foreigners. And yes, these buyers include Politburo members, including the family of Xi Jinping himself.

And believe me, many of these Chinese nouveau riche, who obtained their wealth through less than decent ways, are people these countries are better off without.

They're all bringing their offspring to western countries specifically to receive an education that (if they have the money) is much more fulfilling than what is available at home. That in itself is already an ideological threat to the Party.

I doubt there's the political appetite in the U.S. to accept 1 million Chinese immigrants per year, even if they're skilled and well-to-do. There already is a shortage of top-quality public schools and affordable housing, the two issues they will obsess about. The constant mass shootings in the U.S. also make the news in China and serve to dissuade some would-be emigrants.

Opening the floodgates without resolving these issues will cause tensions down the road. But if somehow there's a concerted national effort to solve these issues, then the U.S. will have made tremendous progress with or without additional immigration.
