and a counter point from the same website (with a rather curious headline)

Opinion: Sorry, but America is still No. 1, even if China is bigger

but still, it's telling of china's rise, america would be better served trying to draw closer ties rather than simply trying to "contain" china, but of course the hick voting in the corrupt plutocrat warmongers would never see it that way.

also why would china float its dollar against the US when the US uses such things as a potent economic weapon?
