1. There are many debates nowadays which confronts "The American Way of Life" with the "Chinese Way of Success". The "American Way of Life" is characterized as the product of a"ry free market society", where even "infrastructure services" are to be delivered by the free market (educatin, health, energy, administration and judiciary been in general still state-business, but they exercise "outsourcing" whereever they can... And in 2019 President TRUMP boosts himself that business figures are up and jobless are down. He simply ignores "the Challenges of Climate Change" (and increases the burden of necessary and perhaps very radical reforms on the next generation - irresponsibly as his own children might say one day soon).

2.China on the other hand develops a "mixed system" of market dynamics and state rule more and more sophisticated. I.e., it leaves - as it seems sensible and rational, the bulk of infrastructure services to the state (which for once more can rely on a tradition of "mandarin-state-bureaucrats" (proudly being the carrier of the state apparatus, normally highly respected). Therefore, the whole structure of the system (entrepreneurially driven market production and trade on the one hand and state-traditionally driven (yes, depending on the intentions and character of the highest state-leader perhaps becoming in some respects illiberal phenomena in all state-controled realms...). However, it is the state leadership which prescribes the strategic lines - and not the ups and downs of a share-holder-market-theatre, and the like...Also China produces also billionaires with this procedere, however, the state still having everywhere the final control, - also with respect to richdom and poverty...(which seems to heavily irritate the American society, however covert up this realm remains within the media publications...

3. Finally both systems do have,and increasingly so, their growing problems, which materialize visibly in phenomena showing the difference between - the final word: voting = democracy (even so now the US has to reform its weak voting-machinery (computer-voting and counting - open to all sorts of hacking etc.) - and even so China has to cope with growing unrest with respect to unnessesary autocratic presciptions reaching into daily-life-behavior...

4. If we look now at the situation in Europe (the EU, with its own problems like Brexit and the East-European-Countries and their low wages etc.) - many of the cliffs and hindrances the US and CHINA are into now, are already past or more or less resolved in EUROPE, especially in the Scandinavian Countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finnland; and to a great part also in Switzerland, Austria and Germany...). One can say the contradictions now represented by the US and CHINA are already somehow past coffee in Europe. Europe now already has other problems, like migration control, internal balancing production and wages, at the same time as the "open market" (for products, for capital, for services and for persons) is well established and now has to be refined de fur a mésure"...

5. A very good lady-speaker at the TED-conference, ..........., born in SAMBIA, but already totally "westernized" in all appearances (behaviour,talk, attitudes...) lately worked the differences between the US-Market-Capitalism and the CHINESE-State-Capitalism clearly. - Ignoring the"European Way", which to my mind has already solved many problems of balancing market and state (=infrastructure care) well - and is therefore the best existing model for the future, - and especially for the "emerging-developing-countries" in Latin-America, Africa and Asia.
