China does seem to be on the rise. I’ve heard that 9 out of every ten dollars that come into the country goes to military spending. Considering how tattered American forces are, if they chose to invade S. Korea and Japan, there would be very little we could do about it. I also have been made to understand that they have cornered the market on alternative energy; that is, solar panel production and wind farms components. Without a hint of racism, I am talking about the Communist Party of China, the folks who brought us the horrors of Tianenamen Square. Oh, but didn’t Regean defeat the Commies single-handedly?

I really don’t know how we are going to tell China what to do.  The US has all Bush’s repressive
Patriot Act laws still on the books—machinery for imprisonment that can be invoked at any moment to squelch criticism and disagreement with official policy.  We may not have open repression here, but neither are we free of the fear of it. Surely a State is weak, no matter how large and ponderous, if it cannot stand up to public criticism.

Damn! Send Glenn Beck to China!
