I mean, currently, right now, China has five times the population of the United States. Their GDP is pretty much on par with ours. The Soviet Union never came close in that regard at all. China has a standing military of almost twice the size of ours, nearly three million, and they\u2019re increasingly aggressive. So, they\u2019re very dangerous. The Soviets never had the economic might. They certainly had the military might. But they didn\u2019t have the economic power to back it up in a sustained conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cCavuto: Coast to Coast,\u201d Rep.
