1. Pension bomb — as you see, is about to go off in Europe.

Honestly, I would expect it to go off first in the US. They rely heavily on the stock-markets and have much higher payouts. Many employee funds may just implode (e.g. Illinois teachers fund)

3. A younger/more populist group of politicians will assume power in China.

This is not how it works in China. But Xi will unlikely be still in power in 10 years. His successor will be younger, so not a big prediction.

5. Chinese-American co-dependency crumbles like a bitter divorce This is a 50/50 chance.

6. Brexit — no comments needed Well, the verdict is still open (I am skeptical)
