what kind of porn Chinese people like ? :PComment

You guys are a bit confused. China is the second largest economy in the world (second only to the USA).
China IS going to be the next super power whether you like it or not so deal with it."In a Time of Universal Deceit, Telling the Truth is a Revolutionary Act." - George OrwellComment

The US certainly owes China a good amount of money, but for whatever it's worth, I think it's less than 9% of the total US debt pie.
A giant pile of cash, and maybe the largest chunk owed to a single entity, but still... just a percentage of the deficit.Comment

i don't get why many like you always immediately think in military terms - it's only missing Vendzilla now who explains that chinese submarines cannot compete with american submarines...
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.Comment

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.Comment

not really. Thing about the tea party is that its very small, no power, no central leader that people can cite as the face of the party. That makes the tea party like bendable clay - people cast their own biases upon the tea party.
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.Comment

Lock up contracts with suppliers of resources for China.
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...Comment

it's too late already...
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 surrenderComment

china will / is move to sell their products in increasingly hungry emerging markets. none of these processes are linear. and to say chinese are unable to innovate is basically xenophobic western propaganda.Originally posted by Jesus H ChristLast edited by Agent 488; 07-31-2011, 03:06 PM.Comment

don't think anyone would share your version of economic history.Originally posted by Jesus H Christ
just skimming the news found this:

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.Comment

German economy is booming and they are still No. 4 of the world - just an example - and they buy a lot of chinese products too ;)Originally posted by Jesus H Christ
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.Comment
