I am amazed that so many people, in the US especially, continue to deny that China is now the world's #1 economic superpower. Anyone care to discuss these matters?

China's economy is only 'strong' becuase it is overheated, and that can be devastating if not handled correctly.

china is making the worlds 'thneeds' cheaper than anyone else, so of course the money will come in.

Not to mention the trillion dollar war bush retartedly started.

all in all, chinas future is looking up. (I just got back from there last week)

Shanghai, on China's East Coast, is probably the most modern city in the world, by far it is much more modern that any city in the US. China is doing great, and they don't eat babies, haha. China's government is theoretically communist, but it's economy is catpitalism at its best. While the US slacks in school requirements for their students, China has made it law that you cannot graduate and get a high school diploma without being fluent in English. Crazy shit.

How is it possible to be theoretically communist, yet still have capitalism at its best?

and what about India! more people there!! in fact China is not that superpower! chinese do not make money, WE are doing money there. they got industries, we make the money! and thye are communist and think crushing students under tanks is fun ....

 
how? well, im not to sure on the peticulars, but when in one frame of vision, you see someone riding a 100 yr old bike, thats probably worth thousands as an antique, right beside a bmw 740 series, a ultra modern high rise next to a shantytown made from packing crates, you'll see that it has happened, how im not quite sure.

but you could find out if you really wanted to

no, china's water supply will be fine...hear of Three Gorges Dam?

they're displacing a million or so people so they can dam a huge valley and a shitload of forest for power and water.

India has the water problem...20 yrs and the reserves are gone

skipimp, have you ever heard of the book Plan B... its got a lot about diminshing water supplies. theres stats in it about chinese farmers drilling 4000 feet down for water. and the crazy dust storms and evaporation are probably going to make relatively short work of this big damn youre talking about. the author of this book... which my parents stole to read before i could finish... so i ahve tyo get it back... has some plan i didnt get to for avoiding a world food shortage in like 20 yrs.

Yeah China is doing great I guess, but India is a huge mess. Anyone ever read a fine balance? probably not.

Anyways, someone asked how China can be communist and capitalist, its because the services work in the communist but enterprises don't owe their money to the state, I think? Correct me if im wrong.

China can have a capitalist economy because it has special economic zones where industry can thrive or something like that. I heard that in world history class.

oh and by the way, the title of this thread sucks. I thought it was going to be some retarted, black Anti Flag t-shirt wearing douchebag ranting about how we should be anarchists and vote for democrats or something.

China's economy is in catch up mode with the west and i growing rapidly. Soon it will face the problems associated with this massive growth. Also China's cities are growing, yet poverty is still in many places. There equality of wealth is fairly unbalnced. The average American is better off then the average chinese person, plus china is probably going to expierence the economic lull that is now seen in japan after massive economic growth.

The smart man does not know everything, rather the smart man admits when he knows nothing.
 
i agree there is def the poverty/population problem in china that will set the economy back. i went to china to visit family once and practically everyone there is poor as dirt.

''Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.''

P. J. O'Rourke
 
i would think that the equality of wealth would be more balanced because of the way things were in the Mao era, but maybe not.

its true^ china has a population or like 2.5 billion, i just herd that from somehwere, i could be wrong. but my mom is chinese

the term 'fuck you'actually came from 'pluck yew' it was from when the english was fightin the french and the french would cut off the englishes middle finger because they used it to pluck the yew which was a bow and arrow....so they would show their middle fingers to the french

-Bristolrider
 
so basically 2.5 billion people on earth look exactly the same.
