China is exertng their economic power in Africa nation building all the time.

Exerting? How? Are they threatening sanctions like the US? Are they forcing "structural reforms" on them like the IMF?

Their nuclear arms stockpile is fastest growing.

Says who? Last time I checked the US stockpile is more than 10x larger still.

"Stealing IP" isn't real. The idea that you can own an idea is a legal fiction we made up, we shouldn't be surprised when other countries don't respect our imaginary property.
