Reply #6: Actually he goes on to talk about that: [View All]

He said that India is our natural ally in this.

But I only posted this snip because I know that Clark has spoken about America's economic future many times with reference to China. The quotes are scattered about in his talks. In a DC talk he said that the old 19th century thinking no longer fits, meaning the Great Game philosophy upon which PNAC is based. Recently, Clark talked about the Russians and Chinese demanding that we leave Afghanistan. Considering that we are in hawk to the Chinese, we have lost our leverage.

The OP spells out out future if we keep following this same path. I just wanted people to know that there are voices out there who believe that this need not be a race to the bottom.

And it's not one party selling us out. The Chinese trade acts passed under Clinton didn't exactly have any built in equity for Americans either, or human rights, or fair labor practices, or environmental protections.

You know the story about how if you slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, the frog gets boiled without jumping. I think that's where we are.
