Economic power is power.
I live in Canada and I read the labels on most of the stuff that I purchase in the pursuit of my daily life and i'd say about 80% is manufactured in China.
Sometimes I think that if Chinese sweatshops stopped selling shit to Canada that life would definitely change for the worse.
I don't like thinking that, especially when Chinese diplomacy seems to be "speak softly and carry a big stick."
Can anyone guess who's navy is expanding the fastest in the world today?
Food for thought, and the plates you're eating off are probably Chinese.
