You should be. Greece is a farce, with no recourse other than to drink more ouzo and snivel a little more. The only long-standing grudge they have is against Turkey and they have not really cared about that one for 40 years.
China OTH manufactures a lot of the consumer goods we buy weekly, holds hundreds of billions of Treasury Bonds which they could unload quickly if they need liquidity (which they will soon), and has a large population of single men that are of military age. Their hardware is not comparable to ours, but at a certain point, quantity acquires a quality all its own.
And let’s not forget the grudges... Japan, Taiwan, us, Russia, Vietnam, India; all are looked upon with varying degrees of hostility, dislike, and contempt by China.
So what does a country with a chip on its shoulder, a lot of young unmarried men, and a lot of hardware do when those young men don’t have jobs, Jim?
So, we should continue our insane, self-destructive engagement with China to prevent something worse?
Screw 'em.
China collapse equal boon to our economy.
Yes, and China has been very agressive toward neighbouring states over the last 2 years. One can see things building up.
There is also the mystery of the disappearance of that Malaysian plane, which was en route to Peking. There is some story to that, which we are not being told. Probably we might die of fright if we heard it.
