    Macron wants to reform the practice of Islam in France after the latest teacher beheading. The Muslim world is in uproar.

    Xi Jinping is making Muslims in China disappear. Silence.

    Yep. Nothing more telling than Erdogan’s response to both of them.

    Is America better than China?
    IF you are paying attention I'd say China owns our ass. Or at least most of the government. They didn't like Trump because they couldn't control him. Biden on the other hand....Biden's plans:
    Raise minimum wages - cost increase to business
    Raise corporate tax rate- cost increase to business
    Eliminate tariffs on Chinese goods - puts business at a competitive disadvantage. They charge us for crap going over there.

    Businesses will move everything to China (again). All resulting in dramatic job losses. Whether Biden is a complete stooge or totally in Beijing's pocket is unknown. Could it be both?
    Either way China wins and the USA losses.
    Remember the old Doobie Brothers song China Grove? Just sing it as China Joe.

    a couple reasons a cold war with china can be more dangerous than with russia

    1. we are totally economically integrated with them and they make every electronic item we ever touched

    2. they have chinese agents everywhere in the US, at every university, every institution, every major corporation. we dont notice because asians in our society is normal. there were far fewer russians integrated into our society at high levels.

    Russia and China present two distinct threats. They offer different challenges and have two different time lines.
    Russia is a short to medium term threat that is getting weaker every day. They present a military threat to Europe and with their nuclear capability to us. Another factor is Putin. He dreams of the good old days of the Soviet Union and keep trying to reanimate it. Fortunately for us he’s running a failing state that is losing at every turn. The economy is dependent on oil exports and is collapsing otherwise. The population is shrinking as is life expectancy. He like NK can cause chaos if he launches an attack but would lose a conventional war in Europe pretty quickly. So it’s a threat only if not used and one that will shrink as time and Putin move on.

    China spent 500 years in hibernation in 500 it was the most advanced and powerful country in the world with a blue water navy that could have demolished the Europeans. Fortunately they decided to quit contact with the outside world and stagnated. In the 1800s it was forced to open up as a secondary power and it took the last150 years to figure out what to do. It is only after the death of Mao Tse Tung that the Chinese decided to become a country that projected power. They took a long road but now believe it time to take its place. This isn’t just the communist leadership but the whole country believes it should be a leader in the world. That’s one reason their spies are so successful. They have challenges ahead like population and bringing several hundred million peasants into the economy but they have a goal and likely the means to accomplish it. China may not want to actually conquer and rule the world but they want o be the single hegemon. That means cutting us down as a threat and competitor.

    This makes the Chinese very dangerous in the long run especially. What Martin says is accurate and we need to face it. It is a valid concern that Biden will fall prey and must be belled.
