@maegul Why is that “historically ominous”?

just the rise of China and India as world powers

@maegul Yeah, there will be more and more things like that happening. China and India are now space powers as well, for example. Their increased presence is an inevitable shift, with them being the two most populous countries in the world and making advances with their economies.

yep, thus the thought.

Another example is the women's chess ratings: https://ratings.fide.com/top_lists.phtml?list=women

Not anyone "west" of Ukraine in the top 10, with 4 chinese women (which IMO also says something about where western feminism is up to)
