China Hosting the Winter Olympics Is an Extremely Bad Idea
. . . For decades, the Chinese have acted with impunity when it comes to the stealing of intellectual property. They have no regard for other countries' copyright or patent laws. As far as they're concerned, if a foreign product is in their possession, they retain the right to copy, disassemble, reverse-engineer, and replicate it, in order to profit from its reproduction, distribution, and sale. . . .
China vs. America . . . "Of course, Chinese leader Xi Jinping is not remotely as psychotically belligerent as Hitler, who was a deranged genocidal romantic who actively sought war as long as it was in advantageous circumstances. Hitler had professed to have enjoyed his four years of trench warfare in World War I, in the course of which he was wounded, gassed, and twice decorated for bravery. He felt that he must unleash aggressive war on Europe according to a strict timetable because his obsessive hypochondria led him to believe that he would die prematurely. (He did, but only because he had provoked irresistible forces to destroy him.)
"Nor could Xi be even slightly compared to Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had a childish ego and impetuosity and gave the decrepit Habsburg empire in Vienna the infamous “blank check” to plunge all of Europe into war. The comparison with Stalin must also be used with great caution; barbarous though he was, and intent though he and his successors were in stirring up Communist revolutions in different countries from Greece to the Congo to Cuba to Indonesia, neither Stalin nor any of his successors ever dared a military confrontation with United States.
"There is no reason to believe Xi would either, but . . . " (Conrad Black)
