Gordon Chang is the John Bolton of Asia.
If his book about China’s collapse was out in 2001. Guess we could let out our breath now.
When SF author Robert A. Heinlein wrote in the 1950s about the far future in which the US would land on the Moon he said “Hold on to your hats about how the United Nations will rule on the US mission and claims.”
Snarky editor Damon Knight in the reprint decades later put a note in the back of the book: “We can let go of our hats now.”
Actually some now say China the always greedy arrogant imperialist monster will try to make the Moon their colony.
