Small addition: I don’t think Chinese are “not allowed to cry” in general but yeah, population under autocratic regime causes less problems for geopolitics definitely
But the main point I think is that its all relative: last 50 (1960-2010) years were rather happy for the US citizens and rather bad for Chinese, so it would be easier for Chinese to tighten their belts than for US citizens, I think thats the most important factor considering “who can hold bluff longer”
