China v the US = Strategy v Tragedy
While the United States is fixated on some new tribe of rebels in Iraq and Syria, China just swooped by and surpassed the United States twenty-seven ways to Sunday. As I've mentioned in nearly every single article to do with China, they are and have been playing a strategic game of Go, while the United States is playing a tragic game of Connect Four with 42 different colors.
First off, I think this says something about how meaningless labels can be. On the surface, a Communist country surpassed a Capitalist one. But China's economic behavior and worth ethic is anything but Communist. And the American economic behavior and ethic is anything but Capitalistic.
