Publisher's summary

A pig in lipstick is still a pig. It's time to face facts about what the world is up against. As a nation, China has gone from being the world's greatest superpower to ashes and back to the top four times in its history. Everyone in the world is now aware that patient zero for SARS-CoV-2 was at the Wuhan Institute for Virology, which is a BSL-4 lab, in Wuhan, China and that gain of function techniques were used by the epidemiologists in the lab to lose function to make SARS-CoV-1 less virulent, meaning it didn't kill its host and was able to spread globally causing the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a horrible time, and the inflation and subsequent wars that have resulted are tremendously bad. Some believe that the Belt and Road Initiative and RCEP should be feared by the world as China sets out to bring the world bridges and butter, not guns and butter, but this is the least of our concerns. Once China solves the bottleneck in semiconductor manufacturing that exists with the Dutch company ASML, their ability to develop artificial general and superintelligence will be unlimited. If you think Chinese products and control of your government are ubiquitous now, you haven't seen anything yet, and in retrospect, the SARS-CoV-2 fiasco and Omicron mice SARS-CoV-2 inoculation everyone got coupled with the vaccines is going to look like child's play in comparison to what will come. As Europeans and the Americas fret over government entitlements, sanctions on Russia, and cannabis legalization, things are happening outside our realm of control that will paralyze our economies, leadership, and futures. We aren't going to just be provinces of Beijing in the future, but something to be discarded as we won't be needed by the Awakened Giant anymore!

Our failure to properly deal with Germany and Japan early cost the world dearly later on. We dare not make the same mistake with China.
