Ian Bremmer, the founder and president of Eurasia Group, argues that China’s economic focus makes it a weaker competitor than the United States:

      Come on, folks. Yes, the US has problems, and China’s economy is growing. But take a hard look at China’s problems, standard of living, and freedom (or lack thereof). And your conclusion will become obvious. China’s model is not superior.
