Re: A or B ?

It's a game of probabilities. Assuming that only your own country has the smart people is, well, not very smart.

Everybody does it, though, so it kind of averages out in the end.

I think the problem right now, are the stupid old men trying to take us all back to some Glorios Past (that never existed). I think China made a big mistake with Xi Jinping, because - he is an old fart, he hasn't got the time, he's rushing things and he's rushing in the wrong direction for stupid old-man reasons.

The trajectory China was on before Xi Jinping started his grumpy old fart antics about land, power and control would have made China the leading world power in about 30 years, pretty much unnoticed and uncontested. All people hate being sold to, but, they do love buying - and the idea that Free Trade would blot out the authoritarians, we loved buying that idea, and all that other stuff made only by China!
