| 756203 | 2009-05-24 19:38:00 | If I were China I would start putting my money elsewhere ! But Where ? Also China and a few other countries have suggested a new world reserve currency. I would love to see the Chinese start to withdraw their money from the US. This would give the US (and other countries) the message that you cant let all of your productive industries move overseas and still have a viable economy. We cant all be in "service industries". And on the same topic but in an opposite way. If the Chinese want the US to guarantee their investments, shouldn't the USA be able to say that we will do this if you increase your wages, stop govt subsidies, bring in proper labour laws and let your currency float freely. |

| 756205 | 2009-05-24 21:30:00 | No, No. Different species altogether. The UK dragons devour chained up maidens, causing Wales. The Chinese Dragons are creatures of great elegance that bring good luck and provide charm wherever they go. Written under supervision ;) |

| 756207 | 2009-05-24 23:09:00 | If I were China I would start putting my money elsewhere ! But Where ? Also China and a few other countries have suggested a new world reserve currency . I would love to see the Chinese start to withdraw their money from the US . This would give the US (and other countries) the message that you cant let all of your productive industries move overseas and still have a viable economy . We cant all be in "service industries" . And on the same topic but in an opposite way . If the Chinese want the US to guarantee their investments, shouldn't the USA be able to say that we will do this if you increase your wages, stop govt subsidies, bring in proper labour laws and let your currency float freely . For that very reason and a few others that I am holding close to the vest, I believe that China will NEVER really become a world-power as they want . I recognize that China swings a might big fist in the crowd, but actually they are so rife with internal issues and black eyes for contamination of foodstuffs and such, that they are busier than a cat in a sandbox covering crappola all the time to become the mighty power they are trying to emulate . |

| 756209 | 2009-05-25 03:46:00 | Which history book was that in? China, although large, has very little influence in control of the world as they sought to remain rather sequestered for centuries and that isolationist attitude still prevails although there is a new, albeit too late, ground swell . If that makes them a world power, then I don't see it . They are basically giant consumers and if you think that the US is wasteful and diabolically the hungriest nation of sloths and pustules on the world's collective buttock, you aren't seeing the facts that China is many times worse . Movers and shakers aside and the current situation also begging, what makes anyone think that China has any- or can control it's internal strife (and circumspectly), how will they ever create order out of their own house of cards? Elitism and attitudes of world dominion don't always go together and I find that I don't have much in my life that is dictated by China . I am not answering to them, nor do I find them in my everyday concern and reverences . I DO find their cavalier attitude for food purity and gross pollution is just the tip of a monstrous iceberg that has yet to rise from the depths of China's ugly nether regions . An elitist I am not - and even if I live in one of the most reprehensible nations in the earth, I cannot apologize for nor make excuses for the US's attitude, especially now as the "New Regime" takes a stranglehold on the rest of the world . China, on the other hand, has sufficient internal trouble to not want to expend any energy in the shaking and baking of the rest of the world at this and as I see it - any time in the near future . Even Genghis Khan was not a world leader nor a world dictator - he was just their local hit man and Mongol-guy . He raised a few eyebrows, slew some people and rode a few elephants, but it was in all respect - a circus act . He managed to conscript some nomadic tribes into a pact of blood-thirsty raiders which for the life of me I cannot believe was a world power . As it is, the Mongol Empire doesn't seem to be around any more - not so for the Medes, Persians, Roman and Greeks for an example . The whole Mongol nation seems to have fallen to the old adage that a house divided upon itself cannot stand . China's house is still very divided and I don't see any rectification of that - ever . |

| 756210 | 2009-05-25 04:14:00 | Are you saying America controls the world? America has interfered continuously in areas it has no business in and has made problems worse for the locals and themselves in each case. I don't give a rats arse how wasteful the population of either country is. Truth be told I'd align myself with the Americans over China any day of the week, But your delusional in thinking Americas efforts since WW2 in any way stand along side the thousands of years China has been a super power, irrelevant to fragmentation. If China decided to crush America they could do so. |

If China decided to crush America they could do so. If by crush you mean financially, yes, but it would also impact China. China could release their entire US treasury holdings and inflate the US$, Zimbabwe style. But it would also erode all the foreign reserves China has been saving. Even Iraq had the means to impact America financially (switching the oil currency from US$ to the Euro). Its why I think USA invaded when they did. Militarily, no. The US has never ever lost a war. All empires thoughout the history of mankind have risen and fallen. But the USA wont because it is the first to take active measures to ensure another empire cannot rise. |
