    The last thing American policymakers or strategists should assume is that somehow Americans are superior to the Chinese.


    The first thing they should know is that China BELIEVES they are superior to all races and countries

    Stopped reading at the intro. Sorry

    The way they are being ostracized from Harvard, it's hard to disagree.

    Why? This is a good point.

    I don't need 5 pages to tell you the world has always had an empire or top dog and we are all better off having America at number 1

    Stop teaching self loathing and lets beat these uh Chinese at their own game.

    When China stop stealing our IP, I'll start believing that the Chinese are superior.

    China is still a ways behind us in tech, but they are doing very well in some sectors- e.g., 5G, quantum computing, etc. Remember that for most of the past 2000 years they were more technologically advanced than the West, and we have to consider the possibility that they may catch up (note - I'm not worried about the Arabs regaining their technological prowess because they are done). We need another Sputnik moment to get serious about staying ahead of China.

    If or when or if already China has had a Sputnik moment, they won't announce it to the masses imo. With all of the theft of military technology, intellectual property and having the advantage of focus that Dictatorship brings, it's not hard to envision them already there.

    China was fated to rule the world. Period. Whining about its systematic commercial cheating was supposedly merely delaying the inevitable or would have bad repercussions later on. Progressives knew the Communists put tens of thousands of people in camps, rounded up Muslims, and destroyed civil liberties, and yet in “woke” fashion tip-toed around criticizing the Other. Trump then destroyed the mirage of China as a Westernizing aspirant to the family of nations. In a protracted tariff struggle, there are lots of countries in Asia that could produce cheap goods as readily as China, but far fewer countries like the United States that have money to be siphoned off in mercantilist trade deals, or the technology to steal, or the preferred homes and universities in which to invest.

    Every time I hear about China I can hear Trump’s voice saying the word. Helps Trump IMO.
