China has U.S. debt but that debt is bullshit debt. To insure it they have to get Europe to back it up. Europe owns our asses anyway through family ties. China technically is owned by European banking cliques.

Capitalism, communism aren't going to work for China. Playing the money game isn't gonna work for China.

The human rights issue is gonna backfire on them like it always does.

I give China 10 years on the outside before it falls in on itself from disease, political conflict and natural disaster.
