PAY YOUR MONEY, AND TAKE YOUR CHANCES...........
The two ways to look at China. I watched the video, and I wonder if there is a middle way. I have, for many years, assumed China is not intrinsically lusting to conquer the world. They have gone for 4000 years doing almost NO expansion into their neighboring nations. I do not believe they intend to launch conquest in the world today. Taiwan is an issue, but the Chinese really believe historically that Taiwan should be part of China. The history of Taiwan lends itself to support that to some extent.
China's most urgent problem is that they are going to run out of people to pay to care for their elderly, and that will happen within ten years. Their recent control of child birth is now a crisis which will not stop until China is in serious trouble and possible collapse. The glitter of modern China is smoke and mirrors which hides the real issues of destiny. China will soon be unable to launch a world class war, let alone feed its people. Their soil is very poor, and if they cannot get phosphates enough, they will have crop failure and famine.
So, if China is not a threat to America, then what is going on right now is very stupid. Slapping the dragon is not a good idea. They have nuclear weapons, and the assumption that they will never be used out of fear, is a very stupid assumption. It is historic that when a nation invents a superior weapon, they become obsessed to use it and see what clever people they are. This happened in Vietnam, and out of it came the M-16 and amazing helicopters. I believe one of the most ominous aspects of the Trump regime is that he will want to use nukes to prove he is brave and dangerous.
