“King Khan.”At this corner, the 2025 study speculates on the rise of a “Sino-colossus” incorporating the lands, peoples, and economies of China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. Here, the US turns inward because of severe economic problems; in the study’s words, “the American Century has given way to the Asian Millennium.” American defense budgets hit bottom, and only a few capabilities can be afforded. The United States, according to the study, resembles Britain in the 1950s, after losing its empire: “a superpower has-been.” The King Khan scenario occupies a corner characterized by concentrated power, gradual technological progress, and a domestically oriented US.

This is where they are wrong. Hong Kong is known as the Plebian City of Despair.

As for China? Yeah keep up the covid world act and see how well the economy will downfall. I hope they are not THAT stupid.

“These ten systems were found to be high leverage,” General Kelley noted. “No matter what kind of world you’re living in, you need these [systems] . . . or something very much like them.”

Save for 1 and 3, the others of these "top ten" aren't even possible by 2025. Or are again, too stupid to even put into practice. Iran can intercept unmanned drones. Imagine what happens when you put these literal TOYS into fighting against Russia or China.

The rest are largely correct.
