China To Industrialize Moon; Realize Promise of Thermonuclear Fusion
While the economy of the United States stands at the verge of collapse, hobbling along under the dead weight of the London-Wall Street money system, China is on a trajectory upward, propelled by its orientation toward an "American System"-style, science-driver economic policy, and a defense of national sovereignty.
