Re: If the REAL plan is to destroy (none / 0)

middle class America before the Chinese take over, without a shot or nuke being fired, I think all is going well. Hope the Chinese children like a slightly warmer climate with more insects and scarce food. But what the hell, they're still breathing and that's all that matters, right?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: If the REAL plan is to destroy (none / 0)

China's problems are massive. It doesn't get much press in the US, which fuels the "fear China" idea but in reality they face far greater challenges than the US in nearly all ways.

I'm curious about the "they". Do you mean the power elite or the average citizens?
