TJ, DON'T LET IT DO YOUR THINKING FOR YOU.

We're in a dilemma. Our tiny little 1 kg brains can't possibly do all the thinking we need to do. Even Trump's mighty brain depends on input from many others. We hope to synthesize a good idea from everything. But we see from past decisions that it's fraught with problems. We need It. But can't depend on It. Yet have to decide anyway.

My supersonic brain has deduced that the Made in China problem is that it's chimpanzee-based. Albeit with excellent marching, martial music and emperor worship, or total obedience if not worship. Anyone who doesn't sit up straight and shut up will be frog-marched off stage like Hu Jintao. Saddam ran things similarly though those marched off would be summarily shot. Judging by the hysterical applause for Kim the Fatter at public events, he's even more brutal than Saddam.

Rather than get all belligerent over Taiwan and islands and stuff, just leave the status quo and keep doing a good job. Just as England did a couple of centuries ago, China when wealthy enough can simply buy places and cooperation. It's not true that England conquered so much. Civilisation did the job. Maoris for example found ponga huts and eating pipis less pleasant than microwave ovens and waterproof houses with insulation, supermarkets, roads, cars and A380s. Sailing canoes across oceans is horrible compared with 10km high, going 10,000 km at 1000 km per hour.
