The Olympics opening ceremony was an announcement of their coming supremacy in world affairs.  What's more, the Chinese people are proud of their country.  They see their opportunity, and they're not stupid: they're going to take it.

By the way, the Chinese about to send their second mission to the Moon.  I may start giving odds that they'll beat us there simply as a matter of their national pride.  Personally, I don't care who does it, just so someone does.  If the United States doesn't want to be the leader, then the Chinese may as well do it.
