Sydney Sweeney feels particularly weird to include in this. Like Apple as a tech corpo... I guess?? Sports... okay... but then a fucking actress as a point in being better than China???

And even then it's all commodity and entertainment. China's future is poverty alleviation, education and innovation. So if you care only for circus and bread then I guess China is not the future for you?

I'll be honest, I had no idea who Sydney Sweeney even was until today.

I've only ever heard her name in weird contexts like this headline.
