#1 China's interest is nobody else's interest except except Beijing's own. Anyone foolish enough to think that they can bed down with the Chinese and wake up unpenetrated is beyond foolish. The Chinese have always served their own interests and served them so exclusively that it has often come back to haunt them. Even frequent self-defeats do not give them pause to reconsider their monomania over being the Master Race.
