“China is well on it’s way to poisoning our young, killing our pets, and taking over strategic companys.
How much of this do you think is coincidence?”
Having done business in Beijing, I can tell you that the Chinese leaders are a patient lot......they could wait many more years to do us real harm. They are ruthless!
Yes, patience is a part of that culture, to a large degree.
I have found, many times, that long range plans, not the 3 year or 5 year plans but loooong range plans, are looked at with seriousness,
Still, poisoning our children with lead that everyone KNOWS is a no-no (how did I ever survive) and killing our pets could BE part of a long range plan.
