    In summary, he is saying China is not there yet, but they are going to get big enough to eat our lunch and we can’t do shit about it, so we might as well start getting on their good side or we’ll get fucked in the long term.

      No, you need to read the remarks again. Paragraphs like this one do not support your interpretation at all.
      The US is saying that China’s economic trajectory has been too optimistic in the past and that the US needs to focus on domestic improvements, force China to play by the rules, and then facilitate the US becoming the leader.

        Close up shop, boys. Looks like [email protected] knows better than the entire US Department of Defense.

        You should definitely call Biden and let him know all the Ivy League college educated generals, expensive million-dollar think-tank groups, and hundreds of experienced advisors are all wrong in their assessment of China.

          Being a condescending muppet online won’t fix China’s many problems.
