#1 China wants to see the USA fall as much as the Islamic world does. But the Chinese are smart enough not to telegraph their intentions. For now they're happy enough to wait and quietly build their strength. But you can count on China to undermine us any chance they get.

#2 The Chinese know where their butter is. The Chinese govt is floating on a huge trade deficit with the US. The noise about not buying French or German is certainly reaching their ears. They can not afford a widespread boycot of everything made in 'China'. Businessmen will cry, but the smart ones will get the plants up and running in Central America and the Carrib as fast as they can. Once rolling, it will be hard to get them back.

#4 Predicting what China will do is easy. They will do whatever they perceive to be in their best interests, and make no apologies about it. To anyone.
