For many years liberals have cooed and gurgled over the ChiComs and predicted that they would soon surpass us and become the leading world power. For even more years I have insisted that this is sheer bunk, that they were far behind us in many ways, still had huge problems with more to come, and would never come remotely close to equaling, let alone surpassing, the USA. During the Cold War, when Mao reigned, as part of their propaganda the ChiComs would sneer at us and call us the "Paper Tiger." Today it is Red China that is the Paper Tiger, and it is real, not propaganda. Their power and influence has been grossly overestimated by many, mainly by leftists, a mistake not made by those of us that view things realistically.
