12. The only thing stopping China is oil and English

ppsshaw!

That's changing real quick. They teach English in China, and they teach Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) in many American schools. They are getting more oil from the South China sea, Gobi desert and the Caspian Sea. They think it's hilarious that the US actually puts oil embargoes on countries like Iran. Do you know how much oil Iran has? China also invests a ridiculous amount of money into renewable energy and public works. They have no qualms about exchanging nuclear technology for oil.

The people's republic is not a sleeping giant. It's a wide awake giant that we can't ignore. Nixon screwed us all real bad but whatever. China has a right to be an economic powerhouse.

And if you're not scared, you better be! :scared:
