Made in China
By Bob K., Billings, MT
Yes, China has won, as Krista discusses in her opinion piece. It basically now controls our economy due to the recent purchase of our securities, and because the desire for Chinese-made, ultra-cheap consumer goods continues to go strong. China is closer to world domination than any other country has been before, not by military power or colonization, but through commerce. It makes and exports all the electronics, toys - and really everything else - that we buy. As a result, the country has become immensely powerful. If someone tries anything against China, the Chinese don’t even need to retaliate with force - China can just shut down all exports to the offending country until it stands down. It’s like God-mode.
There’s no stopping China anymore. It makes everything with the best mix of quality and price available. When World War III rolls around, let’s hope we’re on China’s side, because whoever isn’t is hosed.
