Norfolk had a parade for him and they want to put up a billboard with his picture like the one they have for Johnny Carson, another Norfolk native. Everyone around here thinks he's a hero. I'm not saying he isn't a hero, he did a great job of landing that plane. But one thing I did notice is when the news stations were talking to people in the crowd, many people referred to China as the enemy. And this got me thinking.
China has nuclear capabilities.
China has a massive population. China is becoming a first world country with an economy that will probably surpass ours in the next 20 years. And China is still a communist country. Instead of a trading partner, they will be a rival and our economy will miss out on a HUGE opportunity. Or something in the middle of these could happen.
