[RedState] The United States is a very young country. Our sense of history is compressed. Our history is a blip on the radar of many other nations’ and peoples’ histories. So our perspective on things is often quite different.
China has been China for thousands of years. Basically the same people living in the same place for eons. With a very different history — which imbues them with a very different perspective.
We in the US are VERY fortunate. The reason we remember so desperately the Great Depression is because it was such an anomaly for us. Ten years of hard times scarred the psyche of generations of Americans.

There are all kinds of history books out there and all kinds of history classes in our universities. Anybody can study any aspect of the subject they choose without being limited to the history of just one nation. There are American, Chinese and world histories among hundreds of others. Which ones do the supposedly great and wise Chinese study?

Wealth is power. Concentration of power is bad (except in warfare). Time for modern Teddy Roosevelt to come for the Silicon valley?
Mind you, CCP doesn't object to concentration of power per se - just power outside their own hands.

studying History is a big endeavor and requires the ability to correlate alot of divergent sources. Studying the History of China ( or India ) is a large undertaking an takes alot of time and thought. This is a somewhat simple article considering its premise, but its not inaccurate. China has been dealing with "Christians" for a long time and pretty much have our weak point nailed down. that being "Mammon"...just sayn'

OK, it's been many years since I studied history in college and I'm not surprised if Black History and Chicano Studies have replaced some of the more, um, traditional courses. But, still, the study of history is not limited by the length of time the United States of America has been a nation.
I would agree with Thing From Snowy Mountain about Chinese influence on Big Tech. The only thing I know to do about it personally is to not use them, not give them any opportunity to make any money from me or to influence me. Same with the big corporate media companies. Turn 'em off, change the channel, read a book or go outside and get some exercise.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
