Better still, invade a few counties and spend a 50% of their GDP on it. We aren't Chinese enough for that. We did weird things like increase their age expectancy, build roads and rail and give them institutions.....end practices like them burning widows on funeral piles and things like that. The Chinese are far more bright about these things. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 Jul 2019 3.41pm)

I find it hard to defend the 'Opium Wars'....there are several decidedly iffy wars....However, that's the greedy unethical tossers in the establishment....and nothing much has changed there accept that laughably they now think they are noble. People like me were up a mast somewhere
