re: You know the real reason China is doing this...
Freedom is slowing entrenching on China. I have worked with two lately.
Between them coming to America, and going back, the Internet, and Hong Kong, the Chinese are linked with the Free World.
The Chinese government may have its future planned out, but its people will be the ones in control of it, and they are going in their own direction.
I really don’t think we have to fear the Chinese, from a military point. They are a civilized nation and I believe we can settle our differences diplomatically.
