China has a population of 1,344,130,000. The USA has a population of 311,591,917. Theoretically China would have to be the richest nation by sheer per-capita income and wealth. There isn’t much the USA “could do.” American’s will get the carrot and the stick here. Again. More corporatism and expanded militarism paid for by the middle class.
I feel the acknowledgement will make many Americans very angry.
It will be ‘another loss’ courtesy of Mr Obama.
