As an American expat living in China's third-world capital, with children living under the constant threat of China redrawing their "sovereignty" line around the Philippines and doing the same thing to my family that they did to Tibet and Xinjiang, I have devoted almost my entire blog here on Steemit to three points:

1. China is evil as Hell,
2. China is nowhere near powerful enough to replace the US (and was never really on track to be powerful enough),
3. The illusion of power is giving China more power than it would otherwise have.
