Yes, China is primarily expanding economically, and has been spending large amounts of money building ports and other infrastructure in countries they then develop a special relationship with. It’s part of the Road & Belt Policy to build a new Chinese economic network all the way to Europe.

The U.S. is being outflanked by China at every level, and still all we can focus on is the has-been Russians. China is the real threat, not the Russians. They have already surpassed us economically by several measures, and have several times the population we do. They effectively also grabbed control of the South China Sea during the Obama administration, and we are basically SOL in that part of the world now.

I hear all these comments about China not having the technological capacity. Does anyone just stop for a moment to think about how much of the world’s technological products are actually made in China now? They have all that technology in their pockets now, and then some. Just start thinking about all the Chinese chips and parts that are now in OUR military equipment.

The biggest threat to China is Russia and the biggest threat to Russia is China.

I think some people still think China is something out of an old Pearl Buck novel. They are producing anything, and everything.
