China is a totalitarian dictatorship. The citizens there have absolutely no say whatsoever in how they are governed. Law & order reigns supreme because the state does whatever it wants with the people, some one and one-half billion of them. Their people serve the government and that government and economy is as stable as it is possible to be.
The mortal danger for America and our allies is not in having China for an adversary, but having them as a friend. Money will always gravitate towards stability. Dictatorships offer the most stability.
Freedom and justice must be the universal ideals for the U.S. and our allies, for without them all people are slaves. America and the world’s other democratic countries are all that stands between China and the other dictatorships extinguishing human freedom and self-determination.
When we show signs of instability in our idealism, commitment to our democratic allies, our imperfect system of all having equal say and equal rights, the dictators come that much closer to enslaving all the world- including us.
Banded together the countries that are governed by their citizens are more than a match for these ‘evil empires’. Our lawmakers that serve at our discretion can continue to (or start anew) showing the world that freedom – no matter how sloppy or temporarily unstable – is the only acceptable condition for humans.
China is able to steal intellectual property because so much manufacturing was moved there. There is always a price to be paid – if you want super cheap labor then the price is paid in another way.
China is putting significant amounts of money into colleges and specialized centers for basic R&D. These are not the things which produce immediate payouts for stockholders so the Western nations are not doing them near as much as in the past. The future payouts, however, can be tremendous.

What most people seem to overlook is that it is not only totalitarian, but capitalistic. It could be seen as a warning to us…
