Yes. Money is power. China is already the number 1 exporter and has just surpassed Japan to be the second largest economy. Within 15 years, they will surpass us as the world's single largest economy. With that comes economic superiority. With economic superiority comes military superiority. With military superiority comes unprecedented clout in our small world.

Remember Darfur. Nothing was done there because of China. Remember Iran. When they have a nuclear bomb, you will all be asking how that happened. I will give you a one word answer. China.

All of this is 15 years away. Or less. In fact, it is already happening. They are already beginning to use their new found clout and they don't share our view that all people were created equal and deserve life, liberty, and happiness. All that government cares about is retaining power and they are using unfettered capitalism to beat us at our own game.

Welcome to the new century. The Chinese century.
