In reply to the discussion: If America Doesn't Implement the "Buy American" Vision Now, the 21st Century Will Be a Disaster [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)14. I support your assertion. I was there for a month in 2016.
2 weeks in spring and 2 weeks in July(my wife was working there for 6 months putting the highlight on a 40 year career).
Ive been to most US states, many Major European cities and have never seen anything like Shanghai. Like Manhattan for 40 miles. I lived in my wifes brand new and ultra-modern apartment and went to the markets and everything. Their metro is the best Ive ever seen. The food scene is off the charts which put me in heaven. Spent a week in Beijing which was less impressive that Shanghai, but what city is not?
They are a proud people and have a different view of history because they have been around for what, 3000 years?
I hope to go back someday.

China will become the sole world superpower, I will probably live to see it happen.

Seems to me that is just setting us up for war -- bombs, cyber, economic, whatever.
