China looked at the lessons of 20th century great power conflict and drew the conclusion that military power alone doesn't determine outcomes, upstream industrial capacity does. The Allies won because of overwhelming industrial might. Japan and Germany lost because they lacked

My daughter phoned to tell me that she has just recently discovered quite a few of her peers in the early 30s being diagnosed with cancer or having to have biopsies to check for lumps. When will accountability occur? There are enough “official” reports emerging to show just
