Just watched the Netflix series "Pine Gap" where the NSA has a base in Australia and the Chinese are vying for land and people all around it in order to compromise it.
In one scene a Chinese agent explained to one of the US wives he was playing that the Chinese play "go" while the US plays chess. The games of strategy are totally different. Chess is a game of war, with captures and sacrifices in order to capture the opposing king and win the game. "Go" on the other hand is non-violent, and is actually more complex. Its like an anaconda constricting an opponent very slowly.
The Chinese analogy to "go" seems to make sense. China is not spending wildly on military, but is playing all over the world doing many small strategic moves in order to control more territory. At first look, its not very scary, but if you look out 30-50 years, which is their game plan, the US could be a very insignificant world player. If we keep borrowing and borrowing, and the dollar crashes, the US economy and the US military will become second rate.
So lets take a poll. Xiden said that the Chinese "aren't bad folks". Do you agree with Joe Xiden?
