So what is China????? Businessmen see it as a future market, economists see it at a bubble, and the US military see it as the future enemy that will surpass us and kill us. It can’t be all three.

i think the folks who see China as a global menace are nuts.

Does anyone know anyone who is Chinese that exhibits anything that fits the profile of being from a nation bent on world domination?

All they want is to secure their energy supplies and not have other countries (like ours) be interfering with their affairs... i say WE need to back off them.. let Taiwan protect itself.

we’re in a different world now and the old arrangements no longer are to our benefit.. they are all liabities

the Chinese language never developed a verb equivalent to the Indo-European languages’ “to be”.

No wonder "their man in Washington" could assert that "it all depends on what the meaning of 'Is' is."
