The Chinese were really different

[Fritzo]

Little confused there Fritzo? They didn't have money until they lend out the money they had?

It's an economics thing. They were's really in the world market until we started shifting all of our manufacturing over to them. This boosted the value of their currency, making them very rich with no debt, so they are now a world lender.

It's because they had a wall, and they couldn't get to the other side until recently. This is common knowledge.

I think they copied the design for a ladder, and it snowballed from there.

Chinese Emperor: I'll build a big wall.

Invaders: Shrug. We'll just buy off the defending general.

Has nothing to do with China currently. China is just really good at bluffing. That is their whole strategy. Bluff strength. Fake it till ya make it. Bluff so much about how strong their economy is, that it becomes self-fulfilling. Except they over-did it, and its gonna backfire. So there's that.
