China is basically a materialistic country. Their prime object is to make 
money and the United States is one of their biggest customers. I don't think 
they want an empire, just like Russia doesn't want an empire. I'm more much 
worried about the people running the United States. They're the crazed ones. 
They're the ones pushing for the New World Order, where we'll all be eating 
crickets, own nothing and "like it."
