There is probably much to be said for the China threat; most powerful nations behave in ways that are threatening or may be perceived as such at some time or another. Perhaps it is fair to say in this last respect, that the US has been generally more reasonable than most. Perhaps not.

Unfortunately, most of what passes for current analysis of the China threat seems to run the range from hypocrisy to borderline mental illness, and is notable for the bizarre high-school level of discourse. One might expect this of ignorant commies, but perhaps not from those who count themselves as exceptional. Just my opinion.
