Not long ago, Xi said, "Right now there are changes, the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years..."

I think he's referring to the establishment of BRICS and neutral settlement, and he sees the days of the dollar(petrodollar) as waning. But there are huge ramifications to that.

Wouldn't that make his predictions even more significant? He controls the biggest population, second biggest economy in the world, one of the fastest growing economies and middle classes out there, has one of world's biggest network of spies feeding him info internally and externally.

Americans think they are the only democracy in the world.
