I wonder how many people that post here have been to China? I’m no apologist, but you have to see for your own eyes what they are achieving over there. It is like the wild East, but firmly controlled. My impression is that many Chinese are perfectly happy at the way they live. I appreciate that they are looking for some lebensraum, and that will take some managing. Thankfully, it is on the other side of the globe to Europe, as I wouldn’t like to have this China on my doorstep. The only way, lMHO, is economic. Stop buying and trading with China. The US could go one step further and default on its treasuries that China holds, effectively writing off its debt. I appreciate these are unbelievable, black swan scenarios, however, we are seeing an awful lot of instability caused by the equivalent of butterflies flapping wings in the Amazon. It’s certainly going to be an interesting century.
