Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Sino-American relations are worsening

The Economist March 21st.2020 Edition.

Predictable. Totally predictable, since “two gods competing for top-godhood is a crowd!” There is nothing new about that. And the Chinese are fed up with losing face. And the Americans are on the decline and hate to lose face. You have two out-of-control-machos squaring it out in the duelling field., Not with fearsome pistols or swords, but thermonuclear weapons and able more and more, to deliver them-pinpointedly to your kitchen or bedroom- or even toilet.

QUESTION: IF A PANDEMY CANNOT BRING THEM TO THEIR SENSES TO COOPERATE FOR A CHANGE, WHAT WILL??

To death?

We don’t know that one yet. But remember, “THE TOYS HAVE GROWN MUCH BIGGER. -BUT THE BOYS HAVE NOT GROWN ANY WISER…AND INVETERATE NARCISSISTS RATHER LOSE THEIR HEADS THAN THEIR FACES.SO, I WOULD NOT BET IN THAT ONE.
