Has anyone been noticing...

[Nancy]

There have been a few places that I have noticed not only the option for Spanish speaking people but, not they have Chinese as an option too! Just came back from the lab and their check in has Chinese and Spanish as an option. I think it's time folks started to learn Chinese...something's afoot, and it's not going to be good.
China and Russia are buddying up...

I feel like this topic is too much for most to want to think about.

If people cared, they would have figured out the answer 10+ years ago.

I do see places with Mandarin signs and menu options, especially near where I work. This area has a bunch of high-tech companies, which attracts a lot of Chinese-American engineers and scientists and programmers and such, so the local stores want to cater to this market. We also have a sizeable Indian-American neighborhood just south of us, so the local strip mall's stores have Hindii subtitles on their signs. Since my company has a major presence overseas, I'm used to seeing communications that are bilingual or even trilingual (English, Chinese, and Japanese).

I once had a business trip to Japan with an overnight stopover in Honolulu. In Honolulu, the street signs were in English with Japanese subtitles. In Tokyo, the street signs were in Japanese with English subtitles. Weird juxtaposition. But when you're over in Yokohama or Taipei or Seoul, you REALLY appreciate the bilingual signs.

Many years ago I had an odd dream. I dreamt I was Chinese. I didn’t look Chinese but somehow I was Chinese. I was in a class where I was being taught how to speak Chinese. I was confused in the dream and was thinking, but if I’m Chinese then how do I not know how to speak Chinese…?
And then I woke up. Had the dream maybe…14 years ago or more?

Israel has been captured by foreigners over 40 times. It’s a curse in the OT that God gives for abandoning Him, that foreigners will eat what they have planted and will take them captive. But we think we will fare better somehow.
The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.
All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.

Its apparent to me that foreigners are taking us over and we are falling.

Is modern Chinese Communist Party more or less immoral than the U.S. federal government? I imagine it's pretty close, but it's more likely that before it's over, the U.S. will be the most immoral in the world.

Agreed. Most are oblivious to these covert (or, not so covert anymore) clues and signs. We have taken God out of everything in the West and we should expect nothing less than our nation falling.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Well, their human rights, being communist, the people suffer more so. But, you are probably correct, there are no morals anymore
