(1) current disorder would simply persist, (2) the liberal international order—its rules and institutions—continue to erode, and the existing order collapses and (3) a new symmetry of power among the global West, East, and South will produce a rebalanced world order.

The article does not primarily describe the status quo but goes beyond by more than general and unprecise remarks. Stubb develops three scenarios for the “world to come”:

Stubb evaluates that “The next five to ten years will likely determine the world order for decades to come.” The Western countries (with “Europe and North America and their far-flung allies Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea” as the core) have a last chance (as the title says) ...

All these regulations ware more than a decade after cars were becoming popular.
Innovation success needs some independence in the beginning (although the starting phase is getting shorter - timewise).

Accidents of self-driving cars are almost only mentioned in the context of some success in their development. Times when Tesla accidents were on the news title page are over.
Europe can at least learn from the limited regulation of these areas of innovation, not from restricted reporting.

„China’s success is its nimble and permissive regulators.“ NO regulation is helpful, at least in the beginning, as is described in detail. That is a field where European states work differently. And Americans even different from both. Other differences in China are not mentioned.

But the main article asks the question as well, “How does Chinese innovation work?”. A deep pool of talent, a broad manufacturing base and huge scale combine to propel it rapidly up the value chain. But that's not all. More needs to be mentioned.

Higher consumption rate is not Beijing's biggest problem, maintaining employment is.
