“The commentator Fareed Zakaria believes that even as the balance shifts against the U.S., rising powers like China “will continue to live within the framework of the current international system.” “
The U.S. government has thrown away its manufacturing economy with ridiculous environmental regulations, high taxes. They have created and nurtured a hopeless, clueless underclass in black and illegal immigrant ghettos. Worse yet, a silly educational system and a feminized culture has produced a dysfunctional white male working class. As a result, the “second industrial revolution” that was supposed to bring nirvana to the U.S. has benefited China, India, and South America instead.
The other wealthy and relatively free nations (Japan and Europe) are financially even farther into the toilet with unaffordable mandated retirement pensions. Since their native populations are not having children, these countries will be swamped by foreign immigrant workers who have nothing in common with the natives. Here’s wishing you a comfortable old age, folks.
So why in the world would China want to be part of this insanity and what has Fareed Zakaria been smoking? China is enjoying their ringside seat to the suicidal spectacle that is Western civilization in its death throes, and they are passing out the popcorn. Meanwhile the Chinese will continue to throw a few trinkets at African dictators while they haul away the natural resources that fed Britain’s factories a hundred years ago.
Fareed?... its team o’bamo’muslim at work.
China? Although a developing economy got busted here last week stealing ideas and technologies. They are about as much a threat as North Korea. That is a bit of a exaggeration, however, basically they are not a real threat other than they are a huge population. All the third world wonders? All have American corporations parked on their front lawns pushing their development.
Our greater problem is the backwards muslims are jealous and they are taking America apart stick by stick and stone by stone with their man in OUR White House. This is wqhat has to be stopped, we need a American in the White House, not some zebra ALIEN who patronizes foreign ideologies.
