Writing about the supposedly looming Chinese threat to America reminded me of this absolutely ridiculous commercial aired during the 2010 midterm elections. I'm not sure who saw it outside of California, but I laughed out loud every time it came on. I find it ridiculous not because I doubt the future importance of China or its inevitable rise to great power status, but because of its borderline racism in vilifying the Chinese professor.
Who says we have to be enemies? China can be a great power without taking over or destroying America. This is the kind of propaganda that should be left OUT of American media if we hope to use it to shape global interests.
