The Chinese Century

Composed and posted on March 31, 2015

Uthman,

The Chinese Century is unfolding in front of our eyes.  Unlike America, that continues to involve itself in the affairs of other nations and expends its limited wealth on weapons and wars, China simply sends its people and its products to all the four corners of the world garnering economic and political strength, for the most part, without creating the animosity and anger that the American presence in those countries seems to create. 

Perhaps, Uthman, it is time to start learning how to speak Mandarin.

Brother Everett:
I respectfully  disagree. Such 'shouting' make for 'good ending for honorable negro movie'.
You are right Mat everyone preys upon the black people of the world, that's how pervasive white supremacy/avarice capitalism is. America may be a 'paper Tiger', China is slowly going from a 'Hidden Dragon' to a 'Crouching Tiger', now that its expansionism is no longer limited by the great mountains of Asia.
I wonder who is more a threat to America's future: China (who is 2 and 0 in proxy wars with the U S) or the Islamic world.

Sometimes I just shake my head and want to shout: "WAKE UP!"  However, I suspect that such shouting would be like whistling in the wind.
