I admit that the most wrong decision we in the West made was to rush to open the door to China in 1840 and open the door to China without sufficient technological differences. We should ensure that we are at least 500 years ahead of the East in terms of scientific and technological capabilities, but that may not be enough. We were too arrogant at that time, thinking that the ignorance of the Chinese people at that time could create some waves.
Let's see now, what are the benefits of following the United States? Bottomless military expenditures, unlimited debts, the dividends of the year are no longer there, not to mention the soup in the mouth, not even the crumbs of bread are left. On the contrary, look at the countries that cooperate with China, look at Russia, do you think it is disabled? Funny, on the contrary, it has accelerated the development process of the eastern part of the country, relying on the largest consumer market. Do you want to say India, the most populous country? Comparing the per capita income with China, the consumption power is very different. It's amazing, but I still think about India.
It's like hundreds of years ago now. Hundreds of years ago, we thought: "They have the best food - rice; the best clothes - silk; the best drink - tea." What is different now? "They have their own mathematical empire - the third generation of calculus, their own space station - Tiangong; their own medicine, their own industry, the world's largest Internet, One Belt, One Road, etc." Everything in the world is changing, and the era of the West being subordinate to the East is not far away.
Intention: Don't forget your original intention of coming into this world.
