As a non-American westerner, just like to point out that “America vs. China” isn’t necessarily a battle the entire world is invested in.
So I don’t understand language in this post like “China’s success scares me” or “as bad as it seems”—why are Americans ‘the goodies’ and Chinese ‘the baddies’? Both governments are insanely powerful and engaged in immoral practices on the daily.
Tribalism, I thought, was out of vogue. All that should matter is the future of humanity, right?
Cool list! Some of these are new to me, will have to explore further.

I’m similarly open to criticisms, haven’t explored all of these thoroughly but they’ve all caught my eye over the years for one reason or another.
