I think we're far from it for now. China still depends on ASML (West) and is nowhere near learning to do EUV for chipmaking.

Everything you say is correct. I'm just looking at this from a more global perspective.

I don't think it's all that relevant how the people in the imperial core viewed those events, but all across the global south 2016 and 2020 were undoubtedly perceived as major indicators of the decline/dysfunction of western "liberal democracies".

I do think much of their illusion, or their myth or whatever you want to call it, was shattered then. They were mask-off moments. But as i said, i don't necessarily view those as true inflection points, rather just as further data points indicating a world in transition.
