Well, economic power is latent power which means greater potential for military power. If China can push us around they will. Especially as our interests sharply conflict with theirs. Our interest is to bottle them up. Their interest is to expel us from their region.

The good news I suppose is they probably won't grow as much as they could.

If we go Syria mode maybe we'll nuke them. I'm going full Turner Diaries there.

It's a shit situation. Maybe we're better off pretending race doesn't matter. That is not a reality based alternative though.
