The US need a strong China

[anthrax]

Necessity is mother of invention

So is war (and competition)

A strong (economically, military, technologically) China will force the US to work harder and re-invent themselves, just like they did at the beginning of the Cold war

What do you think?

China is here to play no games.

1.3 billion people. That is a shitload of cheap labor. I think the US (as well as the rest of the world) already lost. We just don't want to realize it yet. It's just a few moves ahead (like in a good chess game)

What do you think?

1) China will be strong regardless of what the US wants or does.

2) If they push us economically without kicking-off another cold war then we'll both win. Cold wars divert a ton of resources away from places that actually need them and into weapons that collect dust.

My SO is deeply involved in China's push for bettering their educational system. They are moving forward on many fronts. Quietly ... patiently ... relentlessly.

The good news is ... they love "stuff" and are not really interested in war. The stats are a secret, but they have a huge number of rural peasants that are keeping them in check.

IMO ... Do business with them. No confrontations and no wars. Let western decadence do its work.

They are also a nice check mate to Russia and India.

too early to tell. divisions may yet emerge in china. atm the chinese government controls its people with an iron fist. itd be interesting to see what happens in china as its populace becomes richer, more aware, loosens governmental control and descends into decadence.

1.3 billion peasant slaves is one thing for a country. 1.3 people all of a sudden saying MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME....now that would be something to see..

I wouldn't be surprised if the Neo-cons try to portray China as the next evil state to boost the defense budget and push protectionist ideas

Perhaps their evil plans can be thwarted by people wearing hats made of aluminum foil to keep the evil brainwaves out.

I do so love paranoid conspiracy people
