This hardly a surprise. What will be interesting is whether Wall Street is investing in China or is flat-footed.

IMHO, I think the better question is what can the US do to keep some of the minerals in their hands. Can you imagine what would happen if the worlds material for computer chips and cell phones was controlled by one country. It could get bad. We need to play catch up on building relationship's with Africa that we should have nurtured decades ago.

Stripped of the pejoratives, the article is correct. We don't give a S what kind of govt/society they have. Daily massacre or love-in that's their business/choice. We're about making money and advancing China in a non-violent, peaceful, cooperative, mutually beneficial way. No one has any legitimate reason to fear us, except our success is a kind of existential threat to some, but that not deliberate nor our fault, nor are we going to change our way just because it exposes the weakness of those "some". Better they should learn from our success, and do a little emulating, and forget all the useless slagging off

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Scorpio

Something that you've always taken for granted or believed implicitly could have a big question mark hanging over it during the next few weeks. The more entrenched your views are about this, the more difficult it will be to accept that perhaps it's time for a change of opinion or, at the very least, a revaluation of what you think. Mercury turns retro in your house of communications, so do your best to be open-minded now.
