This chart from Ember has me thinking about how to classify China. I am not thinking about the politics or the finance, but China as an innovative state. The future of geopolitical power is centered not on the military but on the ability to bend others’ lives through technology. This does not dismiss the political, but we have seen politics devoid of innovation and technology, and its scope is limited to coercion. Technology drives hegemony.
