@kai I’m just being hyperbolic because I am pissed Kai. The only serious part about what I am saying is China is a competitive global hegemon, the stuff I said in my initial post, and that do-nothing Americans whining about China is getting old when they are do-nothing Americans and refuse to understand why China is rising. Ultimately we either have the Do-Nothing party or the Shoot-Myself-in-the-Foot Party, in realpolitik terms.
