China has far more internal structural problems and will likely flash and then burn out, then ascend to be a more fair player in the international economic scene.

Yeah, I remember when the Japanese came over here intent on buying America, and most of them got sent home wearing a barrel.
Uncle Sam may be on a losing streak, but whenever he puts on the green visor he's still capable of passing out a world class screwing.

Problem is, we're busy creating a repressed underclass and future turmoil here as well. Mainly because we've been living in a fantasy world, trying to play fair in a real world that doesn't really give a shit about fairness. That's the road to poverty that people take on many levels----trusting in the kindness and generosity of their fellow man.
You're right about one thing, though. We do need to get tough........Actually, were about fourty years too late on that one.

Kim has mental problems - as we all now!
But now he also seems to have health problems, he was not seen in public for several weeks and the party leadership confirms that he is in health calamities, according to deutsche presse agentur.

I believe he had messed with a very powerful figure who was connected to the Chinese.

Yeah when Florence was teaching English to rising young management type at a major corporation in Tokyo. One of them, grandson of a former Prime Minister told her that they may have lost the shooting war but that they would win the economic war. Looked like they might have for a while with our help.
Which is why if I ever bought a rice burner she would set fire to it in the driveway.

The Chinese after buying out Vancouver Canada, have turned to Seattle. LA, and New York.
