 Harper says, what would China have to do to have FU money, metaphorically speaking, apply to a country bringing about to do what they want without worry about backlash, besides initiating force. I mean, this is the catch 22, if you will. To get super rich, you have to trade. Trade makes you interconnected with others who you might not particularly like. Trade makes you, you know, dependent is the wrong word, but trade, you have to trade with somebody. So if China to get rich, it has to trade with the United States and Europe and Africa and South America. It can't just trade with poor countries. It can't just trade with Russia and India. It is not enough demand there for there to be enough wealth created in China. So the only way China can get FU money is by trading. But trading makes it very difficult to go to war with the people you're trading with. It makes you immediately susceptible to those people deciding not to trade with you and the strip the United States. This is the whole idea of, oh, we're delinking, we're going to be self-sufficient. Well, yeah, you can be self-sufficient and poor. You cannot be self-sufficient and rich. And that's what people don't understand. So if you want to be rich, you got to be willing to trade and including trading across borders and trading with all kinds of people all over the world. And that integration is what I think preserves peace, or part of what preserves peace. Iron Man talks about this in The Roots of War. And if you think about Russia, one of the reasons Russia is poor and one of the reasons Russia is violent, is willing to engage in initiation of force, is willing to engage in war, is because it's not a trading nation. Yes, it sells oil and gas, but it doesn't produce stuff. It doesn't innovate. And it's not dependent on these external markets, it's dependent on natural resources. And it's a completely different mentality. And it stays poor because you cannot become rich off of natural resources. No country ever has. So it's really interesting that if the Chinese ambition is to get rich and not have poverty in China and all that, it has to stay open. It has to commit itself to trade. It doesn't, even with 1.2 billion people as a population, even though that's going to start shrinking, you cannot be successful in this. You trade with other people. You cannot be successful unless you're innovative. Innovation and trade open up societies. They're forces against authoritarianism. And I think that's why I think it's worth being optimistic about these things is that I don't think that China is going to dominate America because the only way it can become rich is becoming free. And if it comes free, we don't care how big it is. And if it's unfree, then it can't get that big. So I don't know how much it would have to have to have a few money. It's far away from that. If you think about how much the United States spends on military, it's four or five times more than the Chinese do. We have a significantly better army, military, we're better technology, we're better innovation. China has not yet a match for the United States militarily. But the only way it can get there is by becoming more free. And if it becomes more free, I don't fear it. The China I fear is a China that's isolationist and not integrated into the world economy. But that China is not rich. So it's kind of pretty cool how reality works. Reality rewards virtue. And if you're going to engage in vice, i.e. socialism or authoritarianism, you're not going to get rich. You're not going to get rich. on any one of those channels.
