Taking Taiwan isn't going to save them from losing the USA.<br /><br />Personally, I think they're already deeply screwed, their own internal corruption imposes a weight they can't keep holding up. <br /><br />The reason I think that is the immense number of rich Chinese nationals buying houses in Western nations.

I'm tired of us bankrolling the Chinese growth and dominance over the world. As they get stronger, the world's freedom shrinks. Not to mention the boatloads (literally) of subpar goods (crap) that we bring into this country daily. I'm tired of it. <br /><br />What would happen to their system of they lost the American market?Temujinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151260392919555708noreply@blogger.com
