China does not plan to attack anyone, they just show strength so that no one gets the idea to attack them on their soil. but if you look at their economic development over the last 20-30 years then you know that it's only a question of time till they are number one anyways. without a single shot. |

they are already second and while it's still a big gap to the US, they are growing faster than anyone else. look what they have achieved just over the last 10 years... for example car industry - 10-15 years ago they were mostly building old Volkswagen, now they have a whole car industry. Which is in many aspects still inferior, but give it another 5-10 years. and for almost any other industry branch you can find similar examples. they are smart, they know we want a share of their 1 billion people market. but they only let you if they keep 51% in joint ventures and this way they are learning faster about our technology than we can stay on top with new inventions. and some day this gap will be closed and we are simply outnumbered. the whole military aspect that is mentioned over and over again is totally irrelevant, they won't fight anyone. and no one will attack them. |

Your pics are interesting because its true there are morons at tea party rallies. Critics seize upon the stupidity of 1 or 2 signs & paint the whole party with that brush. People who hate the right can pick out michelle bachmann & say that this is the true tea party. I would say she is nothing but a carpetbagger. Bottom line is that the tea party is whatever its supporters & critics want it to be. In my biased view, tea party is the only entity standing up against the runaway spending that both major parties created. |

Obtain privileged trading status with current suppliers to China of Crude, Logging/paper products, Steel.... Otherwise, it's just a matter of 'when', and I don't believe the Chinese government will be as forgiving or tolerant as the US melting pot has been for the past 90 years.... screw 'war'. China will be able to economically strangle the US in 10 years... All they need are enough resources... China doesn't have to worry about medicare, education, labour laws... It's best to put out a fire before it gets too big... |

look up "rare earth" metals - until now at least China has more or less a monopoly, and without those there's almost no modern technology so if you tax your imports from China, they stop delivering those and you're screwed also where (or how) will you buy your precious iPhone, iPads, Dell computer or almost every other electronic device without manufacturer like Foxconn who employ 1 million people for an average of like $200-$300 a month. btw - if i say "you" i mean all of us in the western world, we have lost the fight already, from here it's only trying to profit from their growth or surrender |

just skimming the news found this: http://the-diplomat.com/2011/08/01/h...beat-them-all/ According to Schleicher, Shanghai?s education system is distinctive and superior?and not just globally, but also nationally. Hong Kong, Beijing, and ten Chinese provinces participated in the 2009 PISA, but their results reflected education systems that were still the same-old knowledge acquisition models, whereas Shanghai had progressed to equipping students with the ability to interpret and extrapolate information from text and apply it to real world situations?what we would normally refer to as ?creativity.? Twenty-six percent of Shanghai 15 year-olds could demonstrate advanced problem-solving skills, whereas the OECD average is 3 percent. |

and we're not talking just about socks anymore, how many computers are actually manufactured in the US? if you would add 25% import tax to chinese products, many american companies (like Apple, Dell) would suffer immensely cause no one can afford their products anymore and it would take years to replace suppliers like Foxconn with something local or in any other cheap labour country. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science...Research_areas yeah nothing at all. they are just robots and we are enlightened individuals. like i said. just xenophobic propaganda used to mobilize american's against the yellow peril. nothing to do with reality. |
Everyone is pissed at USA, let's just hope Apple has our back.

As for their economic might, well, they will be number one in our life time. However, that economic might will be based on citizens of the US buying stuff from China - and we can fix that over night if we really wanted to. |

I don't know how much is actually wrong with America. I really think we're just chewing ourselves apart.

Time to open your borders.
What china has is millions of workers prepared to work for food and shelter. This kind of labor is essential. That is why we buy their shit. Its cheep. Any product for sale outside of the U.S that is made in the U.S is usually a high end product. Well made but comes at a price because U.S workers demand good wages and rightly so. Manufacturing is where it (the solution) lies and the U.S have not adapted to a changing global economic climate. Everyone is crying out for tougher border controls but the reality is you need them immigrants, like it or not. Sure, the US prisons are one of the largest employers paying pennies per hour but are only so many blacks you can lock up without civil unrest. |
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh People trying to make us Americans afraid of losing the #1 economy spot OMG :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
We really don't care about being the biggest and the best, a common foreigner misconception. LIST OF COUNTRIES BY GDP A lot of great places to live that aren't #1 Australia Canada United Kingdom Germany Spain Netherlands Switzerland Sweden I'd rather live in America and be happy farther down the list then be #1 and live in enslaved and repressed China. :thumbsup |
Interestingly, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER in that article to back up the headline that China is losing patience.
There is not one cite, not one quoted Chinese government source, NOTHING. Purely the opinion of the author, based on nothing. Not your best find, Halfpint. . |
