#1 If China's economy gets a cold, the rest of the world's will need a respirator.

#2 Don't think it will be that bad. But there is a real opportunity here to put China on its back. Armies and Navies are expensive and hard to maintain when you are broke and people are starving.

#5 we just need to wean ourselves off the crap that China and American Importers are trying and succeeding to sell us, mostly stuff we do not need and buy on impulse due to saturation marketing

There was a time we used to make our own computers. They cost more, but I mysteriously had more disposable income.

#7 Armies and Navies are expensive That is probably why the Dragon Throne abolished its own intercontinental Navy just a few years before Columbus went west and discovered a New World. The Chinese even destroyed their shipbuilding facilities & tried to erase all memory of Admiral Zheng He and his accomplishments.

You’re kidding, right? India is certainly capable of producing the same crap China does, only it will be much crappier. Take it from someone that has spent a lot of time there, India and Indians are not what most Americans think they are.

#9 you're not kidding. That "leather" saddle I bought online from India is a POS

#10 I've been there a couple of times myself on business and trained the folks in Hyderbad to do the work we needed. I have a very high opinion of Indian engineers and high tech workers myself.
