That is an interesting observation about the Chinese. They are number 1 is so many areas that America used to be. China in my eyes resembles an older America a lot. They are the #1 ship builder, #1 user of steel and concrete. Their highway plan is basically a copy of ours, with slight improvements. When its complete it will be a much larger system. They don’t have silly notions about limiting their power. If america wanted to, we could synthesize enough fuel from coal to help protect us in cases of war and to keep money within our own borders. The Chinese already are currently building plants that will make over 400 million barrels of fuel/year from coal. They exploit nuclear power. They negotiate for intellectual rights as often as possible. They look after themselves and what is in their national interests. Our country oth seems to say “sorry” all the time for being rich and powerful.
That is exactly what I am saying.
The Chinese is believing in Manifest Destiny
Americans are ashamed of Manifest Destiny
