China is the new ‘evil empire.’ They’re taking away jobs, producing super low cost goods that make competition in this country difficult, and they’re building up more advanced weaponry and military power.
Oh, and they want our oil too…er, uh…the oil found in other countries that we are currently protecting and/or competing for.
I guess this means that we can all celebrate the return of old-style James Bond movies (replacing Russia with China), political insinuations of mass attack and destruction of local culture by the evil communists, and even the return of the word ‘commie’ as an insult (once the word ‘terrorist’ has lost it’s popularity).
I guess the US political structure was feeling nostalgic.
