I think it was Nimocn who was stating the US will never attack China because of her might.
But see what the US has been able to do by covert means, whereby they have injected what the Communist say 'capitalist greed'.
Under Mao, it was society and Nation first, and then the individual.
Today, it is Individual first, and the society and Nation thereafter.
There is one input that is well exploited and that is that the Chinese by nature are good businessmen and also they are huge gamblers! In short, Money and making more money excites them and they go crazy.
By going the Deng way, China is riding a Tiger and this Tiger is not a paper tiger!
