Saturday Night Video: Our Future as Chinese Subjects?

You’ve got to hand it to whomever came up with this commercial and then put it together, it hits all the right beats – the Chinese college students laughing at the American flag!  You can just imagine the effectiveness of this imagery in certain parts of this country.

China’s been an empire in ascent and decline, on and off, for centuries – their recorded history of various dynastic eras stretches back 5000 years.  America is a two-hundred-year-old infant in comparison.  I don’t need to live in an empire per se but I am stirred by the message a bit myself, even if it leaves out the fact that China needs us as much as we need it.

Anyway, this is a phenomenal piece of hysteria and I predict it will work perfectly from a political standpoint this fall…
