China is playing an interesting game.

The problem is that we have allowed them to become the factory of the world without considering the consequences. We can't simply start a tariff war, for example, without having the same resources locally.

Britain was the founder of the Industrial Revolution, and yet now we have almost no manufacturing worth considering. We are in the process of discarding our farming assets as well.

Western politicians are almost to a man and woman shortsighted, naive and uninformed.
