If Obama Doesn't Balance Trade, China Will Steal More U.S. Industries

Gore Vidal laid all this out ~ 25 years ago in one of his books (sorry, I don't remember which one! he pointed out that the center of civilization ~ 5000 yrs. ago was in China. this center moved progressively Westwards over millenia, from China, to India, to Persia, to Greece and Rome, to western Europe and finally to the US. I don't recall if GV explained why this happened but my hypothesis is that humans follow the sun. He commented that the real power that the US needs to fear is not the Russians, but is the Chinese. makes sense to me
