An Open Letter to the Government and People of China

YOU ARE TRYING TO CONQUER the world, economically, and replace the United States as the world's lone super power police officer. That fact can no longer be denied by keen eyed, percipient American observers. Awaken, my fellow Americans, here come the Chinese, to take our places. We Americans owe you Chinese trillions of dollars, which we don't have. Will you settle for California? Your tens of billions of dollars of infrastructure investment in developing countries tells us your intent. Helping the poor, are you, after the fashion of your communistic, socialistic, community oriented philosophy? Or, are you more like my United States, building an empire while pretending to help the poor? Perhaps you Chinese leaders should read "The Tragedy of American Diplomacy", by William Appleman Williams, and avoid making the same mistakes we did. Those mistakes have a way of coming back to haunt you. When, for instance, you support a brutal dictatorship government in a small country merely because the dictator claims allegiance to your cirporate superpower country, complications can arise. Do not repeat American failures in Viet Nam and Latin America. A wealthy China runs the risk of concentrating its wealth among a very few, elite people, as does the United States. If this happens, the Chinese people are not likely to remain subservient and obedient, while they live in poverty and their overlords and master live in opulance and splendor. Share the wealth. Share the power. Sincerely, T.L. Reconciler
