Former President Jimmy Carter told a church congregation this weekend that he had spoken with President Donald Trump about China on Saturday, and said the commander in chief was worried that Beijing had outpaced its global rivals.
According to Emma Hurt, a reporter for NPR affiliate WABE, Carter spoke of the call during his regular Sunday School lesson at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.
Carter, 94, said Trump was worried that “China is getting ahead of us,” and suggested the president was right to be concerned.
Good read....not often I agree with Carter or Newsweek.

Um, why ?!?
Carter’s an idiot.
Ask people in Tiaanmen square in 1989 what they think
I guess slave labor does give one an advantage.
Irrelevant. War is a kind of economy, funded by conquest. The Soviet Union had multiple military economies, but they bankrupted them. The genius of Han is to make military economies work. The foolishness of Han is to fail to see that Faith will prevail.
Why do you think President Trump..(a very smart guy)...called Carter if as you say...”Carter’s an idiot”?
Carter’s ignorance is showing again. China has spent a whole lot of money on war. Self-righteous, America blaming, stupidity is all you can expect from Carter.
Damn and I was hoping Jimmy was going to give PDJT advice on Middle East Peace.
Logan Act this ancient “do gooder”
Carter’s trying to remind people how truly awful he was as president. Since Barack Obama took the crown away from him.
Everything China Does is a war against America, it’s just not WAR!WAR! yet.

Well, every dog has his day. Right?
What a soap opera this has become.
Reminds me of “As the World Turns”.
China is a Maritime Dependent Nation with a Brown Water Navy.
WTSHTF in the Middle East, they lack the means to convoy their tankers into the war zone and retrieve oil. They cannot keep the Straits of Hormuz open. They will be screwed.
Meanwhile, some day the Japanese are going to go TORA, TORA, TORA all over their South Sea Islands.
Wow NewsWeak and Carter in the same posting.
FR probably gets more NewWeak posting than DU does.
Why?
Why would Trump call Carter? Why would anyone?
China is a Maritime Dependent Nation with a Brown Water Navy!
I suspect his implication was to doubt that Trump even called Carter. I certainly doubt it...though evidence could prove me wrong. Practically speaking, I can’t think of a reason why a republican president would call such a lover of dictators of the left.
Ignorant fool, shut up and build houses.
