The Next Great Clash

Michael Levin, author of "The Next Great Clash".

In The Next Great Clash, Michael Levin presents evidence of a global political order on the verge of a historic power shift from West to East. A reemerging China is the only nation with the latent capacity to challenge American hegemony, and Levin demonstrates that such challenges to the status quo usually lead to war.

Some of you are really pathetic. We have gotten used to seeing Europe pander and prostrate themselves to tyranical governments. When I see my own countryman act European, I feel shame. Stop pissing your pants and kissing china's ass. War with China is certain. We wont appease them like Europe. Dont lose faith or listen to these leftist elite windbags. If China wants to be #1 then they are gonna have to bleed for it. Japan, Skorea,taiwan,Austrailians even Vietnam will side with us.

@tommyboomboom China's leaders realize that their American cash cow it almost dry. What do you do with a dry cow? You butcher it! They want our natural resources for and land for "re invigoration and expansion" They are dumping our dollar, you don't dump something that you want! I didn't say they wouldn't export to Europe and other countries, just that we are quickly becoming worthless to them.

@astrialkil China's huge reserves are due to the massive trade surplus they have. Chinese save more than westerners, and consume less. Their internal markets are, per capita, quite small. I don't think China wants to destroy America, the future Chinese nation will have to compete, cooperate and trade with not just the USA and EU but increasingly with India and South America. If you look at China's history, they have not been expansive empire builders like the Romans, British or Americans

@astrialkil China is dropping our dollar, they don't want it anymore, why will they continue to sell us stuff if they don't want our dollar?

They have a trillion dollars cash in the bank, a glut of dollars, and there is little out side military tec that they want from us.

What are they going to do with all this money that no one in the world wants? Will they just buy up our natural resources after we crash? or do they want room for expansion? The world wants to kill America for being fat, why?
