Regardless of how friendly or unfriendly relations would be between the US and China, the US is the country with the more creative, inventive talent and that is where the technology and patents are that the Chinese want to steal. It is all in line with their lack of innovative talent, and tradition of plagiarism. They would steal ideas from their best allies or enemies equally. Just do a search for "Chinese plagiarism". They have been spying on the US like this for decades.
I completely agree. The Leadership Principle is the only effective way to steer the ship of state. The Leadership principle is older than civilisation itself, going back to the first organised tribal society - yet it is also effectively practiced by all modern corporations. It simply means having a leader at the head who directs and plans the best interests of the whole group. He has authority to command, yet must also be entirely reasponsible to the group. The army is organised this way also. Starting with the Commander in Chief, there is a chain of command and rank right down to the private. Through this there is a unity of purpose, a rapid execution of orders, and the most efficient and effective organisation designed by man.
Imagine the army using the democratic method, voting amongst themselves as to what action to take! "Should we go over the top and engage the enemy, or should we go on a picnic?". Can you imagine the useless mob such an army would become? They would undoubtedly be slaughtered by any enemy that used the Leadership Principle. Thus it is with the ship of state. Only those who wish us to be destroyed would advocate democracy. And another thing: leaders who are of their own people (and not driven by their greed for financial reward) are most likely to do what is best for their people. History has shown this to be the case.
