  1. Nah. Remember how the Soviet Union collapsed in '92? Why did it collapse? Because it's economy was centrally planned. Inefficient. Deng moved China towards free markets, and it grew. But now China has gone back to central planning. All we have to do is wait, and China will collapse. Add to that their coming demographic collapse, and their difficulty gaining access to oil and other energy, and you can see we have little to fear from China. All we have to do is try to keep the US free, and we will be fine. But guys like this want to make us less free. They want higher taxes to pay for government spending programs. They want more power to the US government. This guy read his Orwell, and is using it as an instruction manual.

  3. Belt and road is stupid, and will accelerate the collapse of Socialism in China.
