They don't have to beat us on the battlefield.

China will use the momentum of our own stupidity and, lack of attention to detail, against us. Like an akido move.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Chinas biggest opponents in its quest for global dominance ("regaining" in their minds) are the elderly Chinese bureaucrats. If something killed off everyone over the age of 70 in Chinese politics, the world would be toast. (Or "fried rice".)

I read somewhere about a year ago that the guidance gyroscopes in our cruise missiles are made in China.

We're doomed.

Who was it that once said capitalists will sell you everything you need to defeat them.

Personally, I'd have long ago stopped playing games with imports in limited circumstances.
Lead in toys? - OK . No toy imports for 3 years.

If I ever accumulate enough lead wheel weights I intend to cast a "Mr.Lead Head". No cheap
lead paint like the Chinese toys. Mr Lead Head will be made in Canada from genuine solid
lead. :-D Of course it will be a novelty item/paperweight for my own use as a knick knack
and not technically a "toy". ;)

Disclaimer:
*Mr Lead Head is not suitable for for people who lick, chew or swallow their toys regardless
of how old they are. Throwing is also not recommended except for fending off an intruder.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for these or any other inappropriate use of the
product which I cannot forsee and probably don't want to know about. :D

I believe it was Lenin who said we will sell the capitalists the rope which they will hang themselves with.
