"the trajectory of team usa is dangerously veering wrong, and unless corrected, there shall come a point of no return, as opposed to simply juncture of no-easy return"

that you can count on...

this is where team usa is currently:

“ To repeat, the crisis of liberal education is a reflection of a crisis at the peaks of learning, an incoherence and incompatibility among the first principles with which we interpret the world, an intellectual crisis of the greatest magnitude, which constitutes the crisis of our civilization. But perhaps it would be true to say that the crisis consists not so much in this incoherence, but in our incapacity to discuss or even recognize it.”
(The Closing of the American Mind, Allan Bloom, p344)

ie, usa cannot even discuss the issues, let alone address them successfully..

not true, team USA is not participating in the contrivance that has become known as team usa.

We both know that no sum of the parts would verify that Team USA has anything whatsoever to do with team usa.

compartmentalism, and awareness of the facts that systems people are never doing what they claim they are, and further that the system itself is not doing what it claims it is..means, that Edwards choice could be the preferred choice of 89 out of 100...the problem is within the missing information.

so many good posts this morning, take heart that the trajectory of the last baktun, is winding down....as more come to grips with the fact of status without esteem, under the conditions of being fully bought and paid for...states change at the smallest levels. Knowledge about these changes will begin occurring across wider spaces at accelerating rates. We have crossed over from the old to the new, evidence is everywhere...those only fully prepared for the past....will deal with their own stupor at varying rates....hubris and momentum are classical states within linear systems......

Hi TJ, This post of your is brilliantly written and you know Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Greater China mainland very, very well....... It's obvious in your comments. I became friends with several very affluent citizens of Hong Kong that were already hedging their bets on the 1998 transition from British Rule to Chinese rule as fare back as 1983 and 1984 by purchasing Sydney Real Estate and expanding their businesses to Australia..... in the event that the Chinese pulled a Chairman Mao act and Nationalized everything.

They obviously did not do that, I and several of my friends have had an business interest in USANA .... USNA, a New York exchange traded company..... The most dynamic organic growth that the company is experiencing globally is in Hong Kong and then it's the Hong Kong expats living in Vancover.....in California etc.

So they do practice a very pragmatic business friendly form of Capitalism...... and also are in tune with British commonwealth Practices as well as Anglo Saxon Judicial Precedence.

.Henry Kissenger earlier this year published his latest best seller and it covers the relationship between the USA and China over the course of the 21st century... He absolutely agrees with several of your observations that the US Government is not really managing and cultivating the relationship as effectively and productively as they could.
