We couldn't begin military strikes on China b/c of world interference. So we begin negotiations with China through the UN. Then we start work on Hong Kong. We can't believe those in Hong Kong would agree with such an invasion. What are they doing for human rights etc. Hong Kong is much more capitalistic and enlightened. Most did not want to become part of China. Hong Kong starts protests and rebellion. China now must use their resources to deal with the rebellion in HK. China makes face saving statement and withdraws from Taiwan. That's the gist of it although I'm sure I stated it more eloquently :-)
Please tell me more about education as a weapon and your innovative system. I know you don't mean "Hey you raised tariffs so now our kids get an extra hour of homework each night." You also have held up China's education system as an example. The gov't decides who gets what education and low scorers are culled. With the American view on free education through grade 12 for all, how would you justify a selective education system?
