For some obvious reasons, I think the Olympics will mark a turning point. Kind of like how Hitler waited until after the 36 Olympics in Berlin to start naked aggression in Europe. I'm not saying the Chinese are going to invade anything, but I bet they will start being much more aggressive on the world economic stage. They have a lot of depreciating dollars to spend. The Olympics are a big deal to them and they didn't want to upset the applecart and have boycotts from any nations. We sure do live in interesting times!
