> But he started saying that 20 years ago.

This is a bit of an exaggeration. His first book mentioning China wasn't even published until 2014. And given that China is in a lot of tough situations right now (looming currency/debt crisis, complete wiping of the upper government, alignment with Russia collapsing, decline in trade) he may still have the last laugh.

He also got things like the shale revolution, the Russian invasions, decline of the EU largely right.

But regardless of his predictive power, it's honestly kind of refreshing to get non-partisan (or maybe better put, partisan-agnostic) technical explanations for current events.

Zeihan is very partisan. It doesn't line up with either the current Democratic or Republican party lines, but it is extremely partisan and opinionated.

This is a good thing, it's a great antidote to those who say that the USA sucks or that the USA is losing. And it feels good to hear, which is why Zeihan is so popular.

Just don't read/listen to him in isolation. The OP asked for singular sources of news and I'm pushing back against that. Reading Zeihan is good. Reading only Zeihan isn't.

Oh, absolutely. 100%. At the end of the day Zeihan is just a single analyst. He isn't even arguably news.

Although, OP wasn't asking for a singular source of news. He just wanted a news source people read every day, and random is better. And if you are looking for one more source of news to add into a diet, I don't think it's a bad pick.
