It is rare for an ancient civilization to recover its past glories. Once they peak and burn out, they stay gone. Not that they don't try from time to time to bring it back and realize their destiny. Mussolini tried to bring back Rome. Saddam is trying to being back Babylon. Arabia is trying to bring back Damascus. We won't wish China luck in bringing back the Middle Kingdom; nobody wants it.
WOW. BIG bump. Quote of the week.
The globalists are not really globalists. They are China-ists. If they want to be globalist as far as trade goes, thats fine, but that means being globalist, not a China hand.
Coke, GE, Intel, Microsoft, Boeing, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, etc. want it and so do their shareholders and 401K investors. America's market is saturated. There's only so many Cokes that an average American can drink. American capitalism requires new markets. And America's political system will allow it to happen because, after all, the purpose of America's political system to ensure that capitalism can keep growing. America's military will allow it to happen, too, because the purpose of America's military is to safeguard America's capitalist interests, now global, which coincide with China's economic interests.
