I'd say it would be a little less worrying if the US administration didnt have its eyes that widely shut as it has.

Sometimes it seems to me that the current US economy is just a huge pyramid scheme waiting to blow.
Don't take this anti-americanism because I don't actually want the US economy to collapse, because it will have profound economic effects for the whole world and everybody would suffer.
On the other hand, the current system of conning the world into investing in a dollar worth less and less can't last forever.

But the term "economic pearl harbor" is somewhat wrong, as it seems the Interest of the Chinese is more to warn the US than to actually strike economically.
The Chinese (and the Japanese, and the Taiwanese and the Saudis and who else) have as much to lose in this as the US, or even more.
