Eerie parallel to the opium wars. China is taking all of the US silver/money because of rapacious demand for Chinese goods. The US is trying to get China hooked on it's poisoned wares, but China is blocking them out.
The same also applies to western democracy, religion and ‘freedoms’. All poisons designed to weaken their targets.
Obligatory reminder that the west has not changed since the opium wars and would do it all again to China in a heartbeat if it could. The only difference today is that China is stronger, so they can’t.
A very interesting conversation by Victor Gao about China, Japan, and Taiwan, touching on specific topics such as Japan's nuclear program, reunification with Taiwan, and the USA.
