When you say it like that it's not quite clear whether you are referring to China or the US.
- jimclegg 7y agoThis part, "history of violence", makes it clear we talk of the US.
- eaim 7y agoPrecisely!
- Barrin92 7y agoand also funnily enough everyone else in the world, no matter how adversely positioned to the United States, still uses US goods. Is everyone in china throwing their iphone away or stopped watching hollywood movies because the US is "the enemy"? No, of course not. I don't know if there's a name for this but I'd call it "top dog syndrome", this is possibly the first time the US witnesses another player rising up to status and they don't seem to take it well.
