Ancient Chinese Taoism teaches that small and medium-sized countries in fact are superior to super powers. The super powers simply bully others.
Small and medium-sized countries on the other hand must offer value to other countries, since they are not strong enough to bully other countries.
For example, Canada offers American know-how to other countries without the threats.
Canada also exports food, products, and services in large quantities to the USA. My wife, for example, purchases tomatoes grown in Ontario, Canada here in Wisconsin!
This writer also purchased a snow blower recently at the local Wal-Mart. Yes, it too came from Canada!
The bank down the street just became part of the Bank of Montreal's American subsidiary Harri Bank!
Americans are so busy waging war, bullying others, that they no longer seem to know how to grow tomatoes, build snow blowers, or run banks.
Thus ends our lesson on Taoism for today.
