There is an alternative interpretation which is that the seat of The Empire will move from the US to China. Whereas it is at least possible to argue that the British Empire just moved itself to the US, I don't think it can be argued for China. En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
That is not an alternative interpretation of my own words. I wrote the American Empire is coming to an end, not the Empire. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
