Rather sad when we have to use China as an example of doing the right thing.

The Chinese want to be a world power. We really do not, only playing at it for a very long time. One can be a world power without entanglements, a do not **** with us attitude and capability.

Perhaps we can learn that a people with a mission to succeed do certain things and have defined standards for their society.

We do not, and treat ourselves accordingly.

This is about to be a lesson on selling to the market you have instead of worrying about your cost basis. No one and I mean no one cares about what you paid for something except you.
