I don't see how China is "hostile superpower". These people love the United States. Single handedly kept GM afloat with their obsession with Buick. They are hard working people who powered the World economy as the manufacturing hub. They make everything better than most at any given price. I get it China can be an easy target. We don't speak their language nor understand their culture. We let our politicians and media fan the new cold war narrative. Creating an enemy out of a friend is very strange to me. They have been perfectly happy as the number 2 as long as they continue to slowly prosper economically. Now we are basically forcing China to over take US. Again very strange.

-Land grabs? Huh? Are we talking about China that historically has been carved into pieces? Who have they invaded and where is that land?
-Resource stealing? You mean trade? Where are they stealing resources?
-Expansionism? Huh? Again where are you getting your news from?
