SUPER CHINA

I was watching an episode of the Glenn Beck program. He and his guest were talking about how China is fast becoming, or has become, the world’s largest economy. They also were pointing out that China will someday become the premier super power.

Glenn was interviewing two guests, one of them was a businessman that has moved his family to Singapore, the other was a businessman that travels frequently to China to consult with Chinese businesses and with American and international companies taking up business in China. The guest were encouraging Americans to teach their children how to speak and read Mandarin. That reminded me that during the 1980’s, a lot of educators and businesses professionals were saying the same thing about learning Japanese and Spanish (back then Japan was the up and coming economic power).

Not very many of us took that advise, even less Americans had their kids learn how to speak and read those languages. Japan isn’t the economic power that was expected and Mexico and South America aren’t either. China is different. Communists have said that they will kill the capitalist with the very rope they sell us. Isn’t that special.

China learned what the Russians did not. They learned that in order to defeat us they must first economically weaken the west (and United States in particular). Expanding around the globe proved to be way too costly for the Soviet Union … and their communist cradle to grave government became too expensive to maintain. The USSR did not fall because the people revolted .. it fell from it’s own weight..

I’m not sure what to think about these and other business men and women that are putting so much effort into China. I am sure that China’s technological advances would not have come without the help of the Clintons. They have had a cozy relationship with Chinese businessmen since their days in Arkansas. Under their watch Chinese spies even managed to work their way into the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. They also received a lot of other favors that I won’t go into.

China’s communists don’t care about their own people. Most Chinese live a meager existence … they are oppressed, poorly fed and cared for. Personal liberty is not a consideration. With them as the newest great world empire, why would anyone hope for them to be respectful of other human beings from different nations?

China has become rich because they don’t provide essential services to their people and they don’t “spread the wealth”. If they were actual communists, there isn’t any way they could afford to provide for the population as true communism dictates. Why is that? … because they are a dictatorship and there are just too many of them for the country to take care of. If they were to try to take care of them all, they would soon find themselves in the same situation that the Soviet Union did (which is the same situation that Europe and the US is in now) … they would find themselves broke. But since they provide so little to their vast population they have positioned themselves well to impose their will on the rest of the world. How are they doing that? … they are hanging us with the money we borrowed for the rope we sold them.

There you have it.
Pass it along if you like or let me know if I don’t have a clue.
