There are people who think China is not a threat and consequently that continuing our unbalanced economic exchange is a good thing. I suspect part of this that many older people still somehow associate China with poor developing nations despite it being the second largest economy in the world, and one that is becoming increasingly comfortable with flexing it's power overseas.
Stuff like this can be a potential wake up call for those people.

- bell-cot 5y agoTrue...but I suspect those "older people [who] still somehow associate China with poor developing nations..." are not reading articles in the U.S. Naval Institute News. From my quick read of the article - it's not so much an "issue" (to get indignant about, or try to fix) as it is a "well-informed people concerned with issues related to the USN might want to be aware of..." thing.
- bdcravens 5y agoYes, but they are reading or listening to the media that will give them the 10 second summary of this story without nuance.
