The problem is that a censorship driven, communist country that blocks technology in order to allow government controlled telecoms to flourish is still beating the US a Democratic, "free" that doesn't censor and supports capitalism.
Something is inherently wrong with that. |

Something is inherently wrong with that. No doubt China is hot right now, but it won't last forever.
One of the reasons China is flourishing, is it is still an emerging country. Environmental laws are weak, wages are low, and when it benefits the state, restrictions on manufacturers are light. Don't be surprised if in the next 10 years, the bubble in China bursts like in Japan.
China's biggest problem is they can not feed and house their exponentially growing population. Arable land is being gobbled up at a rate that makes the housing boom here in the US look like, well, I can't think of an analogy.
The day will come when China can't feed their people anymore, and guess what country has the most productive farm land in the world? Yep, the US.
I do predict grain and foodstuffs will be the essential commodity of the 21st century, with the US taking the lead in feeding the world's population.
MAN, did I just go off topic or WHAT?!?!?!
Sorry about that..... |

| China IS the Worlds largest producer of Wheat, then India and then the US.
China is mostly self sufficient in rice production with few imports.
The US is not self sufficient in any food stuffs it also has to import water from Canada.
China is also the Worlds largest producer of grains.
China's population is going DOWN.
China is thousands of years old.
I think you need to do some more research you are way off in many things. |

The flip side of this is that China's economy is entirely dependant on consumption of its exports to the USA. If people in this country ever tire of cheaply made, low quality Chinese products... then China is going to have some very serious problems.

That is true, which is why I mentioned the fact that China is all but capable of supporting itself with its rice.
The US would not be able to produce enough wheat for China let alone the rest of the world. |

What are you talking about, you pull this out of your ass. We are the Biggest agriculture producer in the world, and if we wanted to feed the world we could. Ex cuss me if we were paid to feed the world we could. You just said everything that is not true, how can you say that China's population is going down, every country's population is on the rise. I think you need to read a history book and look up the population levels. I am blown away by your ignorance, i think you top the list. |

1 edit | Are you serious?
Everything I posted is a fact. Ignorant bullheaded Americans like you make the rest of your country look stupid. You are NOT the biggest agricultural producer in the world, get over it.
Do you even know where China is? Is it that difficult to believe that China and India both out produce the US when it comes to food stuffs?

| Please, don’t beat your drums on China! Despite their agricultural power they can’t even feed everyone within their borders; I mean what’s a bowl of rice worth nowadays? Don’t post or give reference to mere numbers; they do not represent reality or change the reality in present China.
China is what it is, a nation of deceit where people are worth no more than speck of dirt. No wonder to Chinese the word “democracy” and most importantly “freedom” is as foreign as “capitalism” is to Canadians.
Be careful whose side you’re on! I prefer a fork over chopsticks anyways…. |
