Emerging Global Anarchy
Many speculate that leadership of the world order is passing from the US to China. But a more likely outcome could be growing world political disorder and anarchy.
Vietnam – a curious American darling!
The US needs to temper its dreams of a love affair with Vietnam helping its geopolitical contest with China.
What happened to China’s peaceful rise?
Today, US/China relations are at virtually their lowest ebb since US President Nixon went to China in 1972. How did relations end up in such a parlous state? What does the future hold?

Colonial America 1776-2030?
On this day of America’s 246th birthday, let’s clearly recognize what America truly is: the last big colonial power, collapsing!
China’s state capitalism = communism + capitalism
In this post, I will clearly define China’s state capitalism as communism + capitalism. This will help my fellow Americans best understand China, as well as the world.
Violence and America
America is by far the most violent country in human history. This is true both abroad (Jimmy Carter Lectures Trump: US ‘Most Warlike Nation in History of the World’) and at home. It is seen especially in terms of gun violence (List of countries by firearm-related death rate) and incarceration (U.S. has World’s Highest Incarceration Rate). And need I mention slavery in the old days and lynching in the South up to the 1960s?
American “free market” is a lie!
The American version of “free market” is a big, fat lie! It’s time to denounce it as such!
It’s the Second Amendment, Stupid?
The 2nd Amendment is obsolete, if not a mistake in the first place (What is the American Revolution, anyway?). However, let’s leave it alone for now, or we may face another civil war (America: Guns vs. Slavery). Instead, reform our failing political system, as I have suggested (History 2.0 – China’s Comeback vs. America’s Decline)!
Critically Assessing Thomas Jefferson
America has been widely regarded as “Jeffersonian” throughout its history so far. But Jeffersonian American is deeply in trouble (Has Jeffersonian America Run Its Course?). Therefore it is time to critically assess Thomas Jefferson!
America: Guns vs. Slavery
At the end of the American Revolution, America inherited two big issues from Britain:
- Slavery.
- Gun ownership.
The solutions may be the same too: addressing each via a civil war!
