Oh, China is getting desperate; they're going to push for expansion in our lifetimes. They fucked their population balance, and people are so dependent world-wide on "cheap chinese made products" that China has far more of an economic divide than the USA has; we still have a middle class, gasping and treading water as it is. China...? Not so much. Between the government control of EVERYTHING, their dying middle class, their way-off-the-typical M/F population, and the sexual orientation that comes with such disparities, their birthrates are down, their earnings are down, and the gap between super-rich and eating-maggots poor is getting wider and wider and wider with nothing filling in the space. Their government won't loosen controls, and won't fix the problem, and instead will spread out, looking for external solutions to absorb, external resources to plunder, and external financing to bolster their own troubled economy.
Then they'll call due all the debt that they own in the USA, and then we are truly and rightfully fucked.
Anything further I say on the topic will range into the political spectrum, and I don't want the ban hammer aimed at me.
So, cheer up bitches, we're all gonna be speaking Chinese and eating a shit tonne of moo shu pork in our lifetimes. Enjoy.
