Jim VandeHei, Axios: China is the greatest, growing threat to America

China has outlined strategies for 2018, 2025 and 2050 all designed to displace the United States as the dominant global economic and national security superpower.

Why it matters: While America dawdles and bickers, China is thinking long-term — and acting now, everywhere. There is no U.S. equivalent of a plan for 2025 or 2050 — or really for next year.

China is pouring time, money, infrastructure and trade into every continent, after promising to fill the global void created by Trump’s America First.

* China also has the authoritarian ability to experiment at scale, steal our tech secrets and mobilize capital that no democracy can match.

Greatest threat is within. You can have a dictator who rules for many years, but when you only rule for 4 or 8 while your allies and rivals constantly undermining you, well... I see it here in my own country where PC shit like diversity and equality are ruining the country. We are appointing people based on sex, on race and on sexual orientation because they are easy to sell to the public. Truth be told, no one gives a shit about China because everyone's is too busy slaving away for high productivity and increasing shareholder profits. China is a unified country, the rest of the world couldnt care less about their own Nations because their own Nations have enslaved them by selling National assets to private companies who rape and pillage the people.

Not sure which country you refer to as yours, but equality is ruining your nation seems an odd thing to be against unless you feel that what You are is better than what Others are and they ought not have the same rights as you
