I know they are a massive export market for us, that they are the emerging economic superpower, that their consumer goods are massively consumed by us, but they make me nervous, as a country, not as individuals. They are so closed thanks to their central Communist Government, so massively populated, growing at such a rapid rate, and when you boil it down, they are not exactly politically aligned with most of the Western World, know what I mean?

So what is the US doing to deal with all of the issues that come from the waking of the slumbering giant?

We continue to outsource to the Chinese for the cheap production of parts. We supply them with the technology to make our computer components, and they go ahead and master it. We continue to feed them with the tools they need to emerge in the future as a dominant power............all in the name of saving a buck in production. It's going to explode. Fundamentally they have different priorities. When they decide they need more room, no one will be able to contain the expansion.
