The fact is the market needs a major reset and a leader has to think about more than the momentary gains of the market. I agree that China is a problem, but then the FED is a bigger one. I'd be willing to go through a lot of pain if at the other end it means China goes Capitalist and the fed goes to hell. At this point Africa need China more than we do, and India needs us to do for them what we did for china.

Afghanistan has the rare earth minerals, and India is closer than China. Us driving A huge tech manufacturing boom in India and cutting china out of it makes sense at this point. Pakistan will be the go between, and the money flow will do more to settle disputes than anything else could.

China needs a place to send its excess male population, there aren't enough woman. Africa needs people that can come in and mediate and settle there to bring in the first world. Only in Africa is there hope to support china. Only in china does their exist an excess of technical profressionals needed to come in and train the africans and build manufacturing bases.

This is going to be an interesting century.
