“China is in break up mode. Their country is rapidly aging due to Socialist anti-family policies.”

Where did you hear this? I recently worked with hundreds of Chinese here in the US and in China and most were under 30. They were also extremely well educated, trained, and capable. None were communists but very capitalist, very entrepreneurial. I found each and every one of them to be great people with bright futures. They were very happy and loving life and technology. They know China has issues and they were eager to help fix what was broken, from pollution to politics. While they loved the US they also loved China and knew she was going to be better every year.

“breakup mode”? You have no idea what you are talking about.

What you’ve done is common in poor thinking - confusing subjective, anectdotal evidence, for objective analysis.

The following is not an attempt at a put down but a genuine query.

How many of the ‘educated, trained, and capable’ representatives of the Great Han people you dealt with were either full time or part time stringers for one of a number of PRC military or civil intelligence agencies diligently reporting every conversation, contact and bit of information on anything vaguely useful they came across? How many thousand reports flow into the PRC every year detailing the societal rot and dysfunction that is becoming epidemic in our country? How does one think both the people you deal with and their associates back home consider the crumbling of the family unit and the rise of bastardy rates to near 50% of all live births. How do they view the wholesale abandonment of a religiously based moral and ethical code (whether it is their religion or not) by virtually the entire political class and most of the upper middle class? Seriously, don't you grasp that many of these bright Chinese are making mental note of what parts of the US and its infrastructure they look forward to owning or directing and what Americans they can employ in the future to be their compradore class?
