(2017-10-27) Robb Attacking Delaying Chinese Global Dominance

John Robb suggests Delaying Chinese Global Dominance

The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party is over. It was a seminal event.

China publicly announced that it is now in a 'cold economic war' with the US for the future of the world. In fact, China was so confident of its eventual victory, it clearly articulated the centerpiece of their effort to accomplish it: one belt one road

It's an investment of $8 trillion (to start!) to build a global road, rail and maritime system that connects Asia, Africa, and South America (60 countries in total) to China.

Unfortunately, due to a self-inflicted wound (Donald Trump is merely a symptom), the US couldn't be in a worse position to counter this effort. Decades of blind adherence to economic and social neoliberalism has shattered US cohesion along all three vectors: moral, mental, and physical.

what is to be done under the assumption the US will eventually recover?

the rearguard action I recommend is the disruption of China's plans for one belt one road.

disrupt the Chinese construction effort... force the Chinese to physically and logically protect the entire system, from roads to ports to trains, from disruption

Wow, that's a pretty aggressive/crazy stance.
