Yeah, India Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia are some of the back up plans, but the level of technology of China's industrial sector, is decades ahead of any country US included, so they are kinda out of luck trying to replace it in the short term, capitalism own near sightedness is being the key for it's downfall

Exactly, and it's also worth noting that US continues to lose influence globally as well. Both India and Indonesia are now in BRICS. It looks like Thailand will flip towards China as well. I really don't see what US can do at this point within the constraints of the system they built.

Yeah, it kinda looks like the US is also trying some moves of throwing its weight around in Africa, both economically and militarily, but again with limited success

Yup, it seems like western influence in Africa is collapsing at an accelerating rate.
