a bit too much?
Here is a moderately long article
https://www.nationalreview.com/2026/06/the-thucydides-trope-china-is-no-match-for-america/
and, it claims the China powerhouse is nothing moore than a con job. China has real problems and their problems won’t go away anytime soon.What it boils down to is that we are swallowing China propaganda about their growth, economic and military.
Basically, they cannot compete with the US in any meaningful category. Anyway, it’s food for thought.

They have natural resources, cheap labor, American liberals to give them what technology they can't steal from us and a mind-set to play the long game to their benefit.
I get a couple of paragraphs into articles like that and the brain goes into the 'Yadda yadda yadda .... 'mode. It's a personal failing of mine that I'm working on.

Yes, I can see how that would be! Unfortunate. The Peanut Gallery should really pray for you!

I would accept their prayers and possibly a lamb sacrificed over a bed of hardwood coals in a Sacred Grove. I'll bring a side dish.
Do not underestimate the arrogance of the Chinese. It is exceeded only by that of the Koreans. (If that sounds racist, prove me wrong. I'll wait.)

Well. If your Weeman were kidnapped and pressed into service as free? prostitutes for the japanese military, you might understand the Korean hard on towards japanese. My understanding is that they were enslaved for about 100 years? That would tend to slant your perspective, a bit.
Good hunting. E; Bee 🐝
edit: Oh! you said Chinese, I was thinking Japanese. My bad! [ June 17, 2026, 07:12 AM: Message edited by: Leonard ]
