Nobody seem to realized that China is an oppressive country with no rule-of-law; it is a brutal one-party rule; they don't have no respect for international rules such as intellectual property. They don't have freedom of press, all news have to be scrutinized by the authorities before publishing. Affluent Chinese want to leave the country and move to a democratic state such as the U.S., Australia and Canada. The government is blatantly corrupted. 50% of their leadership's 2nd generation are holding foreign passports. With no freedom of press, no respect of human right, low business ethic...etc. No matter what happens in the U.S., China can never be a world leader at this stage. Does the writer know what is 1-belt 1-road? What countries it covers and who is buying it? With all due respect, this article is a joke.
