Default Old China isn’t new China

Yes, of course. But for how long. We think of the Chinese as dirt poor and having no access to internet and other worldly news.

How long before they, as well as us, decide enough is enough.
That was the mindset of 10-15 years ago. We don’t live in 2010 anymore. They are much more westernized than many think. More than half of the Chinese population is obese and many don’t work.

They have a 1 trillion dollar trade surplus that has been stealing from the American GDP for some time. We aren’t the only country the feels this way either,. The EU, Australia and others all are being bullied by China.

China has access to a lot of technology thanks to our colleges supporting Chinese students for at least 5 years. Something needs to be done. We might suffer discomfort a year or so in a full out trade war, but it’s China who would be crawling back on their knees about this time next year.
