We ask an expert: Can US counter China’s longterm plans to dominate us? His response is disturbing.

"Everybody tells me that I should be more pessimistic — that the “friends of China,” what I call the “cheerleaders for China” — are too strong, too well-entrenched, and they know that if someone like me comes along, they just have to demonize that person, or try to undercut their arguments. That’s why the book ["The Hundred-Year Marathon"] has 70 pages of footnotes. I’m trying to show the actual documents.

But I am slightly pessimistic I would say, that our country historically wakes up with a Pearl Harbor attack, or some kind of huge disaster takes place. Then in the past we’ve always had years to get ready: we could mobilize and we had the resilience that could withstand a strong first attack. The Chinese know this. They’ve actually told me this.

I do really believe that Jesus, the Messiah of Israel is returning to earth first - to set up his own one-world government over all the nations ... before China gets anywhere near there ... :-) ...

When that happens, Jesus will be setting China straight!

Can we? Yes of course. Will we? Not likely.

The U.S. will probably get set straight first.

We might eventually need China to help us stave off Islam - at least they still have the will to endure, unlike our own elites.

Unless there is a drastic shift in moral and spiritual values(Western Man becoming exclusive again) China will join with other Third World peoples in the coming sack of the West.

Good point.

But, Japan is a different thing than China.

There was and is nothing wrong with Japan.

Chinese communists on the other hand do have a world domination mindset and see the US as an adversary.

There’s that, but there is also the fact that to stay ahead the US has to spend a lot more. Whatever the US develops, militarily, China only has to spend a fraction because they only have to copy.

China likes to copy Russian stuff too, but their copies are not as good in quality as the original.

If he helped devise US policy, then something is wrong. So he helps create the disaster we re facing, and sells books to warn us of it. Sounds like a great deal.
