When you import goods, you also import politics. The goods are made in a political system, that system is affirmed, sustained and made greater by those imports. If you are stong, your politics and culture are very moral, righteous, good, (and G-d fearing!) -- you can afford to import like we are.

Unfortunately we are at hazard. We have great strengths, but our weaknesses have been let run too far, we are vulnerable, we are being exhausted by the "kindness" of our enemies and even now our friends -- for Communits China is our enemy, while India our friend.

The Indians have made a bad choice -- for China is their enemy worse than ours. Better they see to our health then to ruin it.

Two systems, one grand rivalry
