“China’s investing in its future. From high tech to NEVs (new electric vehicles), to speeding up the development of the internet plus advanced manufacturing and innovation enterprises. To foreign acquisitions of ports, industries and airports to the One Belt One Road Initiative, China’s on the fast track to become the master of economic globalization,”
Compare that to the US mindset.
“You never hear those words coming from US politicians. Compare Xi’s vision to President Trump's actions for a massive budget request for the "greatest military buildup in American history" … and not a word about the growing needs for a better life, harmony, cultural advancement and a beautiful nation,”
America has become what Ron Paul correctly described as a welfare/warfare state and once the US Petrodollar hegemony begins to weaken, it will find itself with fewer and fewer "friends".
Sadly, most Americans won't heed this warning.
“For America to advance economically beyond China, it must again unify for the common good, encourage entrepreneurship by reversing trends that favor Wall Street, large corporations and monopolization, and redirecting the nation's resources away from building a bigger war machine and foreign entanglements to investing in We the People on the home front,”
Stop.
Don't.
Come Back.
