Why would China want the US to fall? Isn't it us who buy all of their goods? Aren't we supposedly the source of all of their technology and education?

That's a temporary condition and ploy. The Chinese are on a program of strategic acquisition which will make them completely independent and powerful withing ten years.

Oh, right, right. The CCP can barely run their own country, but are able to lull the whole world to sleep (everyone except, of course, the tinfoil-beanie types at NewsMax and WorldNetDaily).

Are the Bilderbergers and the CFR in on this too?

By the way, what's your source?

Another ploy I've noticed in my business is that when they discover a natural resource that's in demand, they oversupply and commoditize it, driving prices down. Soon they control the market, having driven our higher labor competitors out.

In the fullness of time we'll see the same product's prices slowly rise to very high market levels in the absence competition. I agree, they are on the economic Long March and plan to extend their sphere of influence to encompass all of the Pacific, at least. They are patient.
