I could preach about how neocons had this grand plan about using the economy to influence China to become more open and democratic; perhaps I could tell stories about how they sought to implement a new type of peace among nations states stemming from each nation being reliant upon each other from trade. I could do those things but I will not. That would be lying. The simple reason is money.
That being said, I don't see China going to all out war with the United States. The Chinese and East Asian countries are far too smart for that. What I liken this to is that the US is playing chess, move / countermove while the Chinese are playing GO! In my mind, the West has already fucking lost. We are so obsessed with making sure X minority has their proportional representation (or greater) in key sectors that we are losing sight of the objective. They say that diversity is strength but diversity make ones nation more susceptible to spies. Looking to the Cold War, we had a very difficult time getting human intelligence from the Soviets while it was surprisingly easy for them. Looking at China, we had Diane Feinstein's driver and the girlfriend of a Representative from California. But the reverse in China is very difficult to achieve. Frankly, our dominance in various fields will slowly be taken over by these East Asian nations and will be become pay pigs to their shitty product. They don't want to kill us the need us to keep their middle / upper class happy.
What will become of the US in the future?
