re: Memo to the globalist/corporatists who are freaked out over potential trade war with China

China is not going to move to a western style democracy based on capitalism, they suckered the US into super charging their economy and the ruling communist party is probably still clinking glasses of fine wine and liquors toasting one another wondering how they pulled this shite off. ?

Evan Osnos book on China - Age of Ambition is a great read on modern China.

There are two China's at work... An aggressive totalitarian old guard communist China, and the new ambitious China that wants to be a lot like America. There is a reason English classes are so popular there and they love to buy some of our most well known brands (Apple, Cadillac, Starbucks).

Our strategy on China over the past 30 years seems to be working from where I sit. They have opened up their markets further, and their people envy our freedoms and culture.

China is a dangerous opponent, but our most effective weapons are the same weapons that worked against the USSR - Let them continue to see how we actually operate as a government that grants people their God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
