I worked with a hilarious guy who when giving advice and teaching me would always half jokingly state that "and remember the Chinese are coming". Always some variation, "In 20 years the biggest issue in North America will be China".
He'd say it so jokingly but then over beers he'd always go into detail about how he thought a) China would eventually make a move in this world and B) We'd be completely unprepared for it.
This was a long time ago, it's almost disconcerting to see that the possibility is very real.
