China is an economic superpower and a number one industrial producer.
Western nations also claim great industrial output on paper, but in reality, the West has close to no light industry, nor capability to build it.
Just like 2 centuries ago, the West got addicted to cheap, high quality, sought after Chinese products. A near entirety of current Western material well-being and wealth of its elites has been built upon trade with China.
What is happening now is that those elites have good knowledge of history (and I'd say better than that of current Chinese leadership,) and they know very well what was about to happen to Britain if it didn't commit to Opium wars.
Britain was a mighty power, and life for its rich was never as good. But only after few decades of this extreme decadence British elites found that the moment the stream of Chinese goods was to cease, would be the moment their millions of pounds would turn into pillow filling.
Sooner, or later the same scenario is bound to happen in between US and China, but unlike of Britain from 200 years ago, US is nowhere near as confident in commuting to confrontation, nor winning it.
America has no opium to force us to buy, but instead they want us to pay for their worthless "intellectual property," "financial securities," and "virtual goods" (oh my god, just what a name) — all products of legal constructs, and politically created fiat.
I do not address this cautious note to the West. It is our statesmen who should remember that what brought the Manchurian empire of Qing down was not an anti-Manchurian rebellion, but an anti-Western one.
