And not for you? Where do you live that you would possibly be positively affected by such change?
See the thing is, most places are in danger of being affected by various changes with regards to AI and other larger things. The game then becomes not "who's to be affected", but "who stands to lose more".
I don't believe the person you replied to meant to convey that such a change will be positive or negative for him, but merely that the status quo will likely change in the coming decades
America is set to grow while China/Russia/EU shrinks, so it might be fine...
I'm quite positive that the US will be fine given it's geographic location. It's the rest of y'all that should be sweating at the prospect.
That's the conventional wisdom, but China is still dependent on the West today and it always has been, and assumes that the US and EU will stumble badly.
