China is a first-world, rich superpower.

We need to come to terms with that fact.

Pretending it’s some poor backwater, is just not reality anymore.

We’re becoming the poor backwater, as China takes our jobs, our manufacturing know-how, and our national treasure.

You do know, we’re in debt to China. Massively.

Right?

You do know, Chinese consumers own more cell phones, than we do?...

You do know, China’s technology manufacturing, now has passed our own?

China is becoming the new Soviet Union. A very rich, very large, very intelligently run Soviet Union. They understand our system, and our vulnerabilities in profound depth.

We are by contrast, virtually clueless, with regards to China.

The cold war with the Soviets, alleged ended. Why? Because we had the more productive manufacturing and technology sectors. We out-produced the Soviets.

China has that equation, exactly reversed on us.

China will not go broke. We will...

Unless we stop pretending China is something, it is not. And start to honestly, and with considerable resolve, start to insist on complete reciprocity.

We cannot afford, to continue giving away the farm.

We are almost out of farm.

Doesn’t it amaze you the number of people who claim to know anything about the peril that China represents yet have not even read writings of Mao, the Art Of War, or the Analects of Confucius?
It would like someone claiming to know ANYTHING about ‘terrorism’ without having read Mao’s red book and the writings of Che.
We’ve got our panties in a wad over tenth century dimbulb Muslims, a threat we could wipe out in a week and yet are in denial that we are feeding a large, wise, crafty, and very, very patient empire that can wait 100 years to become the sole superpower in the world.

"You do know, Chinese consumers own more cell phones, than we do?..."

There are also twice as many bicycles in China than there are people in the U.S.A.

If all of the Chinese riding bicycles were to switch to Mo-Peds, the would consume all of OPEC's production of oil.

The greatest producer of Green House Gases in the planet is the Chinese population exhaling...

"We cannot afford, to continue giving away the farm."

We are not "giving away the farm", we are trading a renewable resource (paper) for goods.

If you are right, in the end the Chinese will be left holding the bag, paper bag that is.

Question:

Where do you get your information about China? Because I live a third of my life over there, run a factory there, do business there and I can assure you your “facts” have as much reality as John F’n Kerry’s claims that he earned his Purple Hearts...

And they were given our military secrets from our demented former president. China is NOT our friend.
