They’ll bring invaluable experience to the building.”

“It’s only a matter of time until the Chinese conquer Asia, and once they have it firmly in their grip, they’ll be unstoppable. They’ll control all the shipyards, ports, and manufacturing of South Korea, they’ll control all the chip production out of Taiwan, and they’ll have all the oil, natural gas, and other minerals they’ll need with control of the Russian Far East and Mongolia.
