The formula is a simple one based on the
human condition of capricious duplicity
avarice and cowardice. First came the carrot
and then the stick, the classic temptation-strike
duo that has served history well, perfected
in this era by an ancient people whose patience
awaiting their time to take the world stage
has come in their estimable leader's mood.
The acquisitive world yearned for cheap
convenience and durable goods with built-in
obsolescence and China happily volunteered
gathering to itself manufacturing drained
from the globe and amassed where control
and output could build a treasury. The power
of investment and hegemonic autocracy now
propels the Middle Kingdom to its final destiny
the Ruling Kingdom. The Great Wall kept the
barbarians out. China now builds a new wall
within which all are snared in the Belt and Road.
