We need to get used to the fact that China is going to become a major superpower and it’s in our best interest to cultivate them as an ally as quickly as we can and cement an alliance.

Despite their Communist government, we are used to allies with incompatible government systems. Look at how we’re allies with the British, despite the fact that they have a monarchical system where the people of Great Britain are subjects, not citizens and I don’t think our alliance with Great Britain has been good for us.

The UK has a constitutional monarchy with a pluralistic political system and parliamentary government. Their system of governance is not “incompatible” with our own.

..........
unfortunately the Chinese view of the world is very very different. They are just like the moslems and jihad after 1973. They are just like the Germans and Japanese after 1900. What do all these have in common?

They all came into sudden fabulous wealth and power and set out to rule the world.

The Chinese are no different than the others. Unless they are stopped — they will seek to continuously expand their power and influence. They will soon enough turn to military means as other instruments of power lose momentum.

That’s just the way it works.

AHAHA! Are you sober?

Do you realize that Britain is a monarchy-in-name-only?

Do you realize a difference between Consitutional and absolutist monarchy?

The entire idea of American system and conservative values rooting from British system.

To have one say Chinese communist system is closer to US values actually shows how far your public indoctrination brought you.
