China couldn't live up to the big baddie billing.

That's the problem the USA always has with it's rivals, they always destroy themselves before any kind of real conflict can kick off because the American system is simply superior to anything else so far.

American system superior? No way that's in your list of ideas to promote. You demoralize and distract.

Until they stop seeing a superior host body. The question is have they identified that China is no longer the host they hoped it would be or is China going according to plan? Perhaps their god is angry with them serving evil again (as they always do).
