This has been brewing since Mao. Every American, even politicians, should be required to read 2 seminal books on Chinese history and philosophy and how it shapes their thinking.
The Hundred Year Marathon by Michael Pillsbury
On China by H. Kissinger
Enlightening and frightening, a true "Clash of Civilizations" They embrace deceit and misdirection as an art form and have been shaping their image in the US and around the world since 1949. We have been helping them do this, thinking they would embrace our values and systems.
They truly believe themselves superior to all others. "The Middle Kingdom" is not an obsolete belief system.
Interesting times coming.
