Pressuring?
Beijing has supposedly adopted some degree of free enterprise, but never assume they aren't turning it to the party's advantage. What the Peoples' Party wants, they will get, and they want to hold on to power. We tend to think China needs US dollars, not so. China simply needs our indifference to the power they are developing. The people can starve, the world can starve, the goal is to hold on to absolute power. They don't intend to destroy us, simply to reduce us to irrelevance. The easiest way to do that is to cripple our communications.
I am firmly convinced, due our loss of manufacturing ability, and the loss of secure communications, the countdown is well underway.
i just hope against hope that we still have, somewhere, the gumption and determination to halt our nation's erosion into little more than an archaeological curiosity.
