Why us and china can't be friends?
(But even "friends" sometimes sling some shit at eachother every now and then when it benefits them. It just usually doesn't cost $1.6B when this happens.)
But China is a threat in a way those others aren't. Not just an economic competitor but potentially the next superpower after ours fades, and maybe next century's dominant culture. We're scared of them because they challenge everything we believe about our own model's superiority...
How very disappointing, Mr. Nagle.
