Umair Haque? Like you, he's a great writer. Also like you, he gets his facts from 25 year olds fresh out of Columbia Journalism School who are easily fooled. I stopped reading him long ago.

No, every analyst does not put China as the next super power. The silk road is failing. You'd know that, again, if you did your research. It already has ballistic nuclear missiles to crush America. Again, you don't understand hypersonics. Sure, they have some features that makes them scary, but again and again and again, you don't do you research so how can we truly discuss what they can or cannot do?

If China is so great why aren't we driving around in their cars? I have a DJI drone, it is light-years ahead of the competition. So don't get the wrong idea that I don't understand the strengths of China. But I wouldn't make a blanket statement like you did--TODAY. A few years ago. Yes, I said pretty much the same.

Umair Haque....PUUULLLEEEAAASE ;) I like you better, less predictable!
