China – the Future of the United States of America

China, as we know, has forever been [the] most populated country in the world. In 1949, China was one of the world’s poorest countries with a population then of approximately 547 million people. Today China is one of [the] most powerful countries in the world with a population of 1.439 billion people and counting! And, sorry to say, it was us, the U.S. who created the monster that it is. Remember that old idiom that says, “be careful what you wish for.”

Under the leadership of Richard Nixon, during his presidency from 1969 to 1974, the U.S. began to groom China to become a low-cost producer for U.S. multinationals. The ball got rolling. In the beginning, the idea was that an open China would nourish a new middle class that would eventually overthrow China’s Communist Party elite. Little did anyone anticipate that, China’s Communist elite, would use the U.S.’s capitalist ideals, to their advantage, for their benefit and the so-called middle-class overturn illusion never came to fruition.

Since Nixon open the doors to trade with the Chinese, in the next five decades, China has become one of the world’s leaders, surpassing the U.S. in many areas. By December 2001 under then Democratic President Bill Clinton, China joined the World Trade Organization, which culminated with a mass exit of American multinational companies chasing the opportunities offered by low-labor costs, which translated into higher profits than those offered by goods and services manufactured in the U.S.

In the last thirty years, Americans became addicted to buying everything that said, “Made in China.” Matter of fact, everyone, you and I and every single American shares a part of the guilt as far as the monster that we created. That monster, better described in terms of some of the statistics that tell the story. Beginning with the fact that China today is the world’s largest economy, more than 20 percent larger than the U.S. Within the next ten to twelve years, China will be richer than the U.S. as China’s gross domestic product will surpass that of the U.S.

In 2022 the trade deficit with China increased $29.4 billion to $382.9 billion, and imports from China increased $31.8 billion to $536.8 billion. Today, as we speak, the U.S. imports everything from China, from machinery and mechanical appliances to furniture, bedding, lamps, toys, sports equipment, chemicals, plastics, rubber, and what about 80 percent of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used to make drugs in the United States!

As of Jan. 2021, China owned $1.095 trillion of our foreign debt, and get this, China today owns and estimated $972 billion dollars in U.S. Treasuries. Some of the U. S’s major companies such as Nike Shoes, made the vast majority of their shoes in China. Microsoft has also had a presence in China for more than 20 years and Bill Gates has an office in Beijing. In sports, the relationship between the National Basketball Association [NBA] and China is one of a mutual admiration society and complete dependency.

As if our economic dependency was not bad enough, how about China’s military strength compared to the U.S. Is China militarily stronger than the U.S.? Well, did you know that The People’s Liberation Army Navy surpassed the US Navy in fleet size sometime around 2020 and now has around 340 warships, according to the Pentagon’s 2022 China Military Power Report, released in November 2022. And, did you know that, as of October 2022, China’s military has more serving members, at around 2 million, compared with just under 1.4 million in the U.S. And, how about China owning many more Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles [ICBM’s] than the U.S.?

Today, as we speak, China continues to buy land in the U.S., some in places strategically dangerous to our Homeland Security. Bottom line, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that China is, today, stronger than the U.S. in many directions you can think of. Admittedly China has been, all along, finding ways to steal our intellectual property, our technology, our trade secrets, everything. In fact, if you really think about it, the so-called inoffensive spying balloon spent a week traveling freely all over the nation. And, if you really think about it, our Strategic Defense Dept., presumably the most sophisticated of its kind, never detected the balloon, which was actually reported by a casual onlooker.

After-the-fact, in the days that followed the shooting of the spying balloon on February 4th, our Defense Dept., admitted they had to improve the adjustment of their detection equipment, which they did in the days that followed to where they were able to shoot down UFO’s, which may have included promotional balloons typically seen in gas stations. Could it be that the Chinese knew all along they were more likely to freely spy the U.S. by using an “inoffensive” balloon as opposed to a more sophisticated device? Your guess, as good as mine.

The bottom line of this narrative may surprise many of you. As of late, there has been a lot of talk and speculation of Joe Biden driving us into a Third World War – a nuclear war, which, could very well be the end of humanity. And I am here to tell you all, there will not be a Third World War. Why? Well, to begin with, our two biggest foes, China, and Russia, know well-enough that they could actually takeover the United States without firing a shot.

China, for one, has the upper hand in just about everything. The Chinese know they are today dealing with the most stupid, weakest, President in the history of the U.S. China knows that Biden and clowns such as his Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are as weak and as stupid as their boss. China knows damn well they could export a COVID pandemic to the U.S. that killed over one million people and the U.S. did not do diddly squat about it. Take the latest incident, the balloon, the U.S. was the victim of this espionage attempt and, China is the one upset that the U.S. brought it down, all the while as the clown appeased China and publicly referred to the incident saying he was “looking forward to continuing our friendly relationship with China.” No comments!

Notice, I have not even mentioned a possible association of China and Russia against the U.S. – not out of the question, but not even necessary for China’s takeover of the U.S. Before I authored this article, I thought of [the] only one possibility to free us from China’s supremacy. I thought maybe if we severed all ties with China; maybe if we enacted laws that would just make it illegal to have any trade relations with China, which could be our ticket out of the mess we are in. But then again, after-the-fact, I quickly realized that this is not ever going to happen only because, for starters, Democrats, and the Democratic Party, would not let it happen. After all, Communism, China’s principal doctrine, has already been ingrained in the United States’ culture, albeit with immense help from, who else, than the Chinese themselves.

Furthermore, I came to the realization that, if it came to that, if it came to a parting of the ways, given the circumstances, China would definitely have the upper hand, would they not? Consider this, consider what would happen if China called our debt to them. They would just need to stop making all the pharmaceuticals they now sell us, and that would put us at their mercy, wouldn’t it? They could also, if you think about it, literally dismantle, and destroy our supply chain in no time, to where they would put our nation out-of-business from one day to the other. Not nice.

So….my message today, hey, there are two sides to the story. On the positive or good side of this narrative, no, I do not think there will be any Third World Wars anytime soon. You can pretty much write off that possibility. On the other hand, whichever Party is in power in the next elections, be it Democrat or Republicans, I can see the Peoples Republic of China, displacing the U.S. and taking over the leadership of the world sometime in the near future, without the need of firing a shot, let alone a Nuclear War.

Frankly, I do not know which is best for humanity – a WWIII or China ruling the world? A tricky situation either way. Whatever happens, one thing we can all be assured of is that the timeline for the China takeover will be greatly accelerated, and greatly furthered, if a Democratic President is re-elected in 2024. Moreover, if whatever Democrats are in control are as stupid and as weak as are Joe Biden and his Secretaries. God save us and God save the United States of America.
