2. I don't know if there are smarter heads in China than in Russia.

Xi makes more and more mistakes regarding the economy. China's stock market has lost $6 Trillion
in the past three years. Foreign investors have been looking for a way out of China.
Going elsewhere in Asia to invest.

China is becoming more hostile to foreigners, and Americans are not going there to study or work
like in the past.

The Chinese economy is in serious trouble.

Xi refuses to listen to his own economists, who are risking their lives to speak out
about the tanking economy and what measure Xi needs to take.

The Chinese military has been strident, looking for war.
Xi wants Taiwan back badly and will eventually get it.

China is the world's second largest economy.
China has the world's largest military.

So there is no comparison at all to Florida.

China has allied itself to Russia, which has only hurt China.

China and Russia mistakes have caused western allies to become much stronger.

Seems like China is making some serious mistakes.
I know China wants to be the 21st century global superpower, but seems to be going
about it the wrong way.
