[QUOTE=HAS59;10902606]It is the Chinese container ship which is the warship which has already subdued the world, in a trade war.
Look around you, at the clothes you wear the furniture you sit on and most of the items you touch. The majority of them were made in China. By small degrees they have turned the art of manufacturing into a world dominating force. Industrial villages are built around manufacturing plants, where whole tower blocks of workers move as one at shift change time. The workers are getting better paid and want more, their domestic market is vast, but is still geared to export.
So true.Apart from the mad dictator/politician/capitalistic entrepreneur’s (war makes money) it is obvious that a conventional war is expensive. Easier, cheaper, and more profitable to buy the country by whatever means is available. Hence the rhetoric from American and other countries is we need to start making our own products and buy from home.
