What does everyone think of China ignoring world protocol by buying up endangered animals and animal parts from other countries? Between everything in our stores being from China, their ownership stake in our economy, their military building machine, and this kind of stuff... ah Captain I think we have a problem. While perhaps the sky isn't falling yet, to me all this points to one goal of the Chinese... global domination both economically and militarily at some point in time. They are plundering their own resources at an alarming rate. They will run short at some point with their population. What then? I for one am concerned about all of the above as a security issue for the US a decade or two down the road.
