U.S. Secretary of State Clinton is on a mission to China. In the past, Chinese representatives came to the U.S. We now rely on China to purchase major portions of our national debt.
While listening to media reports about the mission to China, I could not help but think that Secretary Clinton's meeting with Chinese officials may represent a monumental change. Perhaps we have entered the era where it is becoming apparent that, within the next few years, the U.S. will no longer be THE world's superpower.
If that is the case, we have two choices as a nation. We can spend a ton of resources in an effort to maintain our current status as THE superpower. We could also embrace the fact the we may no longer need to live up to the responsibility of being THE world's superpower. So what if China takes on that role? More power to them (pun intended).
