China basically telling the US they are not in any position of power over China anymore. Showing their hand openly. Saw something on CNN where Erin Burnett was saying this was kind of earth shattering in that China has never really spoken so openly and undiplomatically to the US. Kind of new kid in town mentality fostered probably by the years of planning and progress China has pursued, as opposed to the disorganized shit show the US has stayed the course on since Vietnam. Economics 101. If you don't have a manufacturing base and you are simply a debt ridden consumer, you will be licking somebody's boots pretty soon.
