That sounds like it could just be food poisoning from dodgy fish cakes or something.

I assumed the anti-monopoly rulings out of EU courts against tech companies was a belated response to US tech dominance

The monopoly fines are just very sporadic and inconsistent tax on the US IT companies. They don't really provide employment to the EU area., well not the high end IT jobs anyway. Also by letting US IT companies completely taking over the show, they give up on the power of having a say in all future technology standards.

1999. What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert has turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and had brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays had also given him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi, heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.

Flavorful Origins is such a good show.

quote:

The US’s increasing unwillingness to support the international system that it largely created – as seen in Trump’s attitude towards the World Trade Organization and Nato – marks a retreat. It is already clear that Trump’s trade war against China has not achieved its objectives. Nor will its tech war against China: Huawei’s 5G will prevail in much of the world, probably including most of Europe. As US-China relations continue to deteriorate, and begin to look like a new cold war, it will be no replica of the last cold war. Then, the US was on the rise, the USSR in decline: this time the US is patently in decline and China very much on the rise. Whereas a singular characteristic of the last cold war was military competition, China has historically never competed as a military power and its rise – compared with the aggressive expansionism of the US, UK, France and Germany in their equivalent stages of development – has been remarkably restrained.

The next decade will see a continuing fragmentation of the western-centric international system, together with the growing influence of Chinese-oriented institutions. The process will be uneven, unpredictable and, at times, fraught – but ultimately irresistible.

The USSR at the beginning of the Cold War, noted for being in a state of decline.

BRI, AIIB. The latter is especially hilarious because Obama tried to get American vassal states to not join and they did anyway

edit: also forgot RCEP, which will probably be signed this year and would shift the balance of power in asia decisively towards the PRC and away from the US
