Just from sheer size China is a weight that can be confronted only with great difficulty. There are several countries most threatened by them, so job one is to get those countries to cooperate with one another diplomatically and militarily. And then provide them with the backing they need to stand their ground.
I have always said that war with China will be fought with bags of money under the table, and we’ll never know that it was waged and that we surrendered.
People like the Clintons, Obamas, Bushes, are China’s governors appointed to oversee their American provinces. Trump is the troublemaker who will have to be dealt with. Maybe they can just wait him out, or maybe they’ll have to count on their other minions to push him out.
Anyone that seriously thinks ^ is a dope.
“I have always said that war with China will be fought with bags of money under the table”
Communist China is the number one force for corrupting politicians in the world today. It is their signature tactic, and they have been fantastically successful with it.
The book “Year of the Rat” clearly details how the communist Chinese bought off then President Clinton. As a result, they got admitted to the World Trade Organization with favorable status, open access to all our technology, and a massive download of our top secrets. They then totally revised their Military strategy and budgets, to precisely target what would best serve them in defeating us (encryption codes, cyber technology, missile and nuclear weapons design, anti-satellite weapons, carrier killers, etc.). American Leftists tutored them on how to defeat us, in great detail. They were really worth the money that the communists investing in bribing them.
The essence of the One Belt, One Road initiative, is buying off local politicians, to sell out their Countries, into debt traps set up to enrich the elites of the Chinese communist party.
“Bags of money under the table” has been the main weapon used in China’s rise.
