Sleepy Joe was right to mention, in his State of the Union address that was not a State of the Union address, that China was America's number one competitor.
Or perhaps, our "adversary."
Or, if you're following Fox or Breitbart, "the enemy."
In January of 2020 I was teaching a "Civics" class. That's a short-straw teaching assignment reserved for the malcontents who are out of favour with admin, so I taught it frequently.
According to the official Ministry of Education documents, this mandatory course for grade 10 students is intended to inculcate "appreciation for democracy," among other things.
My class was watching China build a 1,000 bed covid hospital in a week or so.
My comment at the time was, these people are going to bury us.
True then.
True now.
American society is a fat and lazy wasteland of people who feel entitled to everything and will work for no notion of any conceivable "common good."
China follows a different philosophy.
