I'm not a cheerleader of China by any means but the attitude you have towards China is scary. Why does the US have to control the world in order to be safe?
because if we do not, we are falling on the mercy of foreigners who cannot be trusted. China's value system is basically contradictory to ours - most nations' are - so the world will not go our way unless we, or one of a few close allies, are the foremost power.
Not a question to you personally, but I find it interesting that US Companies were so eager for short term profitability that they basically handed China an obvious manufacturing win for a good few decades.
China is the powerhouse it is today because it was essentially funded by US greed.
It's actually pretty funny (if I look at it like a movie script rather than real life - which is a coping mechanism) watching the US tying itself into pretzel shapes around things like free speech and general values of "freedom" that it's espoused for it's couple of centuries because it's chickens (bats?) have come home to roost, and they're shitting everywhere making people unhealthy.
