The Western naivety towards China puts Western government to shame. Some more than others, Germany amongst these.


It is not just a pathetic phrase when I think and sometimes say that we live in a time now where we must witness the - self-inflicted - demise of the West.



The others outlive us due to their determination that we lack. And for shortsighted greed we made them this strong and big, and us so dependent.



TSCM has carefull made sure that despite its opening to building production plants in some Western countries now, it snot the latest and newest stuff they isntall poverseas, but relatively old and "clumsy" chip stuff. They try to make themselves indispensable for thew West, as a security guarantee. But I do not see us havign the military capacity to prevent Taiwan from either getting industrially destroyed, of falling to Bejing. What we actually do - and could do - in preparation for that war leaves too much to be desired.
