    China's superfast economic development is exciting

    Here's a great story:

    How do you get rich in China these days? Build a brand. That's what 35-year-old Huang Guangyu has done. The Guangdong native started out at 18, renting a market stall in Beijing and hawking cheap plastic appliances. Today, his GOME Electrical Appliances is China's top consumer-electronics chain, with well over 100 stores, $2 billion in sales

    And thanks to a backdoor stock listing in Hong Kong this summer, Huang's net worth is at least $830 million.

    The American Dream is passé, the future is all about China.

              One country's success doesn't require another country's downfall.

                It could, but I doubt it.

                        Quite true, there are two ways to look at it.

                        #1 Free trade empowers China and thus they could end up with the world's most powerful military.

                        or

                        #2 Free trade is the greatest deterant of war. (Bad economy = breeding ground for war, just look at Germany before the rise of Hitler.)

                        For situations like this there is no easy answer. Is World War III inevitable... perhaps.

                                    Everyone said the same thing about Japan in the 80's. China will crash and burn like Japan, it's only a matter of time.

                                            China is definitely the next to rise. There's no denying it. I'm not happy about it though... I really don't want to learn Chinese and the food over there is creepy.
                                            I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                              true, wouldn't be a WW. but i guess any nuclear action (say, by some insecure tyrant in N.Korea) would pretty much effect everyone.
