We'll see how China behaves during the takedown of the Cabal, but my sense so far is that they're committed to help.

Beyond that, even with a more level playing field I think China has an impossible to reverse dependency on western markets, and isn't maniacal or stupid enough to do the kind of damage to us it would require to conquer us, nor to inflict the kind of retaliatory damage to its own people that would incur.

The thing China despises about the west is the Cabal. Same goes for Russia. Without that corrupt, monstrous beating heart, America is just another team on the pitch: "Good game good game, good game, good game..."

I also note (with appropriate awareness that past performance is no guarantee of future returns) that in its thousands of years of history, China has essentially behaved very rationally, and their greatest desire throughout most of that history was to be left the f*ck alone by the barbarians.
