There is a rising power that is growing stronger every day. The US has 6 naval shipyards. China has 634.  The Western world in it’s present form is not competitive against this threat. China prevents Vietnamese fishing craft 30 miles off their coast from fishing in their own waters. China prevents Philippine resupply to their forces on their own Islands.  China harasses Indonesian supply ships that go to oil rigs 20 miles off their coast.  No one talks about this but it happens every day. We are already at war with China but we don’t talk about it. We are killing them in Africa and they are killing us. But we don’t talk about it. I think we are evolving into something else to be more competitive. You can hope China implodes but I doubt it. They remind me of the US in the 1950/60’s. They are not woke. If you walk down the street in Guangzhou or Wuhan there is no tolerance for anything like we see in the west. If you do not work you starve. There are no unemployment benefits. The question is who will strike first.
