  • The failure of the US to effectively combat the COVID-19 crisis has opened the door to China becoming the world's dominant superpower, former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan has said. 
  • The US looks like it has "lost its way" while China is on track to achieve President Xi Jinping's ambition to become a dominant superpower by 2049, Greenspan said in a blog for a wealth management firm.  
  • While the economist said that US will enjoy less dominance this century, he highlighted some reasons that its economy is not entirely replaceable.
  • "For all its problems with populism, America has something precious that China lacks: a stable political regime," Greenspan wrote.

Economic power-play for the upcoming generation will be defined on the basis of the relationship between the US and China, he said in a blog written on Monday for Advisors Capital Management, saying that the Trump administration's shoddy response has opened the door to Chinese dominance.
